I just caught their show here in the studio and its "pretty darn good!". ---- Bed "Red on white" by "Michael Ulery" Thesis: We're looking at the Fourth chapter of "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7. This chapter, entitled "Non-Petroleum Energy Sources: Can The Party Continue?", delves into the sources of alternate energy and alternate chemical feed stocks which could/sould/would replace oil. "Cod Liver Oil" by "Great Big Sea" off of "The Hard And The Easy" Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack" Synthesis: This fourth chapter, entitled "Non-Petroleum Energy Sources: Can The Party Continue?", explodes the myths that the world as we have known it is coming to an end, as much it explodes the the myth that the world can continue without going through a lot of change. While geo-political reality can continue, there are going to have to be some changes made and some accommodations reached. That's the part f this that seems to be so difficult to get Americans to understand. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad ] may be a lousy communicator, easily outraged and easily outrageous, but Iran, (meaning the rest of the power structure, made up of unelected imams who can take a longer term view that the four or eight years we have here in the West,) [Iran] is not being stupid or intolerant in wanting to wean itself off of oil. The leaders of Iran see the writing on the inside of the bottom of the oil barrel. They want to survive peak oil and to be in some kind of shape to go forward. Which they won't be if they are dependent on oil, bullied by some foreign power into squandering time, that most precious of resources, and get to its depletion beyond economic recoverability. Nuclear energy may be one of the most viable long-term sources of alternate energy. It is not perfect. It is not without its long term waste storage problems.It is not portable or even movable, and it does noting to address the other non-energy components of oil use. But its a part of a long-term solution. Most of the solutions come up with so far have fallen well short of even that much. Bio fuels from corn is utter stupidity. Quite apart from the fact that human beings eat corn as do far to many of our own food sources, corn isn't even that efficient at the conversion. There are lots of other cellulosic ethanol feed stocks that are much better that corn. Some of the alternatives, wind, hydro, geo-thermal, nuclear and so on are discussed, along with the shortcomings of each. While each of them falls short of the black gold standard, in combination they may accomplish enough. ---- "The Secret..." by: "Lacuna Coil" off of "Lacuna Coil" Bed: "Bomb In A Suede Smoking Jacket" by: "Juliet Hotel" off of: "Sojourn" Conclusion: Next time we'll explore chapter Five: "A Banquet Of Consequences" We're almost finished folks.

I'm not "anyone's" "cash cow." Its a mistake to even think of anybody that way. People have not been an asset, to be abused as all assets ultimately are, on anyone's spread sheet since the proclamation of emancipation. On the other hand, you seem to like the Halloween episode since that has garnered an astonishing amount of downloads.

I'll be featuring podsafe music so I can retransmit them on a full-blown podcast, with an RSS feed, on iTunes without having to pay my soul out to the RIAA. ---- I'm really NOT trying to give a lecture on MacroEconomics, MicroEconomics or even Business Ethics (I know, that sounds like a oxymoron, like military intelligence, Catholic University or Soviet Justice,) but somethings are just too important to gloss over. I only wish I had golden pipes like My Radio II Professor or that I could write as engagingly as Terry Pratchett. I am a flawed vessel, but, regardless of how flawed the container, the message still pours out. The message is that it is fundamentally self-defeating to look to on to short term gain as a "be all and end all." Like any mathematical theorem or AI proof on searching and sorting, there are local maximas which, while seeming to yield the greatest benefits for the least effort, are illusory traps, at best. There are computational islands, with peaks or valleys which are deeper or higher that those surrounding you right now. They may be local points on a slope whose limits can be much more pronounced than your local scope can ever reach. But you can only find out by doing your homework and keeping on searching. Despite the counter intuitive nature of long-term investing being based on something which may not yield immediate benefit, the tactic of "The Company Store" has proved to give the least long term benefit. (And that's to the very company that owns the store! Its an illusory maximum.) The only ones who pursue it are like monkeys with their hands in a small mouth jar, holding onto a banana for all they 're worth, despite the fact that their holding onto it means that that they're unable to actually eat the banana. They have stopped searching. Their scope is too limited and too limiting. The job of a CEO, and that means you Mr. Roberts, is to be able to distinguish between when you're making a profit and when your just a monkey hanging onto a banana in a small mouth jar, and could ultimately make a lot more money by letting go. What I ran into last week is the worst piece of corporate governance I had encountered in decades. It is absolutely transparent, illegal, actionable and short sighted. I'm sorry but ComCast is breaking the law, and several moral codes and ethical edicts as well. Its not one of these "traffic shaping" p2p issues where there might be so wiggle room to maneuver their butts about, saying "Well its our network and we're just protecting it from Mac using 'creative types,' and the '"communist free-software Linux using peer-to-peer pirates" out there". This is a clear policy implemented to either get their customers to lease their routers, at their non-competitive prices, and your objection that you already had a perfectly good router cuts no ice with them, or you'll just do without. Guess what Mr Roberts? I'm doing without ... Without ComCast. If the share holders glom onto it, its going to cost ComCast more than they can guess, I guess. Somebody deserves to be fired immediately, "'sans" golden parachute." If this was one of my old format shows, I'd have lots of podsafe tunes with lyrics and music appropriately chosen for the theme of corporate greed. Instead we'll make due with Classical music, written back when opinion was ruled over by fiat, even when the autocrat was obviously insane with syphilis or some other form of venereal disease.

I'll be featuring podsafe music so I can retransmit them on a full-blown podcast, with an RSS feed, on iTunes without having to pay my soul out to the RIAA. ---- ---- THE STORY STARTS with my waking up, way too early, the same as I always do, and going to my computer, the same as I always do. On Wednesday morning, November 12, 2008, I woke up to find that my ComCast cable modem was dead. I uttered a few expletives, got on the phone and scheduled a maintenance tech. I was supposed to wait all afternoon for them. Well, I have a life. I cant hang around half the day waiting for them. I have a show to record and put on air. (WSPC's ThymeWarp Episode 18 :-) Well, I don't know if they came of not, I wasn't here, so I called again. This time a spoke to a young woman who informed me that I'd have to hook up my PowerBook directly to the internet, WITHOUT my router/firewall. (I already don't like having my machine exposed to all the nasties out on the internet. I wanted to get back behind my firewall ASAP.) We eventually got a DHCP address from them and I thought that I'd be able to get my router hooked up again and that was going to be the end of it. Wrong... It didn't work. After speaking to ComCast tech support, it turned out that they didn't support my router. 'Scuse me? Support my router? ---- "Fanfare for the Common Man" by ""Aaron Copland" here on WSPC's Thyme Warp. ---- 'Scuse me? Support my router? Why is your modem which is supposed to be a simple dumb device providing a simple dumb service interrogating and worrying about my router? Oh, I see. One of your supported routers, Like the one you sell? Meaning that my existing equipment which I bought only months ago is now landfill? Uh, that's a blatantly anti-competitive, illegal, coercive, strong-arm tactic. YOUR router will work fine while MY router wont. Why does your CABLE MODEM even care? I'm not going to shell out any money for a device which does not do what it says its supposed to do. If ComCast doesn't "approve" of the equipment (or if the equipment maker hasn't paid a kick-back to ComCast,) then the equipment doesn't work on ComCast's network. Heck, by extension, lets think big here, there's millions of Digital TV sets about to go live on February 2009, and if a TV set manufacturer doesn't come across with the dough, they suddenly find that none of their TV sets work on ComCast's network. Oh and if you bought one of those sets... Well you're screwed, blued and tattooed aren't you? ---- "West Side Story: Scherzo and America" by "Leonard Bernstein" here on WSPC's Thyme Warp. ---- The kind of mentality that can come up with this crap is so small and tight-assed that you can see whence came the "company stores" (for whom you carried sixteen tons and what did you get and ended up owing your soul to the company store.) Is that the kind of America we have? Where you can only buy crap the company sells you, at the prices they want you to pay, for lease terms they happen to like. And if it doesn't work very well or for very long, well tough. Is that the kind of Republican "Uber State" that we're left with after eight years of Bush policies. Is this any kind of legacy to leave to your children? If you were in at the creation, good for you because you can forget about any more creation. Remember when leasing a pink "Princess Phone" was Ma Bell's ultimate expression of condescension to consumerism. (Note leasing, NorthernElectric actually owned the handset.) I DO. And I'm only fifty five. I was already six or seven when my dad, feeling flush after a promotion, got a pink "Princess Phone" for our apartment. We broke up Ma Bell because of their extremely restrictive policies which were a brake on the economy, on innovation and on personal freedom. I guess that now its the cable co's turn. We cant afford the kind of blinkered Philistine pig ignorance that would be quite happy at stifling all innovation, so that nothing interferes with corporate greed. ---- "Union - Paraphrase de concert" by: "Louis Moreau Gottschalk" here on WSPC's Thyme Warp. ---- Now its Thursday afternoon and I'm beginning to think that I may have underestimated how petty and vindictive ComCast might be. After tweets back and forth with some entity describing themselves as "ComCastCares" where I stated that I was not interested in taking the conversation "off line" with this entity, my connection is now dead. Its easy enough to do. They just have to disable the IPv6 address of my cable modem. Now I'm renting an ugly RCA door stop. They're actually making my case for me. If it wasn't for the internet connectivity available through the school, I'd effectively be silenced. But guess what guys? You've got some competition. What next? Am I going to meet with an unfortunate accident? ---- "Rhapsody in Blue" by "George Gershwin" here on WSPC's Thyme Warp. ---- Screw it! I call's 'em like I sees 'em. They think they can push me around. Well, I don't need a wheel chair yet. Something smells rotten in the walls of Philadelphia where ComCast is headquartered. If "Seigneur" Roberts, the CEO of ComCast, doesn't like it ... tough. I can see the slope he wants to push me down. Its the same one we spent the past five decades climbing up. Some ignorant intern, the kind of MBA with no memory who expects everybody to be a stupid as he obviously is, without a thought in his head or a scruple in his breast was all proud of this scheme he thought up. "Oh Mr Roberts, "tugs on forelock", if only we could just make it truly addictive. We could save millions on advertising alone... As it is the suckers'll have to buy our modems, our routers, our TV sets, at the prices we set, serviced on our terms for the most we can gouge the suckers for to watch the cheap crap we shovel at 'em." ComCast is in serious need of some busting up and some competition. Lets break up the monopoly over districts that the cable use to prevent you from having any choice in you cable provider. Lets engage in some "good ole fashioned Trust Busting." The kind of thing that can make an attorney's reputation and do a State AG's political status plenty of good. ---- "A Child of Our Time, Negro Spiritual: Deep River" by "Michael Tippett" here on WSPC's Thyme Warp.

Official website -> http://thefuelfilm.com/ Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack" Intro M.K. Hubbert made a simple statement of fact back in 1956, back when I was three years old, which explained what had happened to the Pennsylvania oil fields and made a straight forward straight-line extrapolation as to when the oil fields in Texas and Oklahoma could be expected to run out: 1970 ± 4 years. He was ignored because a) nobody wanted to hear him and b) he was making a scientific prediction on resource availability and the cost of extraction in the face of other factors (and it sounded about as urgent as that at the time,) but he was right within the tolerances he had specified. The oil on the American mainland became economically irrecoverable in 1972. If it hadn't been for the Saudi oil and gas fields being there and ruled over by potentates, like Ibn Saud, and the various emirs scattered around the middle east who lorded it over corrupt lands filled with corrupt potentates, (and the one exception, Iran, was ruled over by democratically elected Mohammed Mosaddeq until he was overthrown by the CIA in 1953 at the behest of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, (better known as British Petroleum, [and now calling itself rather benignly "Beyond Petroleum." {a.k.a. B.P. which is utter B.S.}]) This deposition of a formally-elected civil government was "a critical event in post-war world history", because it re-installed the unpopular Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who was even more paranoid that Richard M. Nixon and, unlike Nixon who wielded an Old Boy's Club known as the C.I.A. , instead Pahlavi had a murderously efficient Intelligence agency known as the Savak with which to repress any dissension. ---- "Addicted to oil" by "Mr. Tunes" ---- We've got PSAs: ---- Campus Safety urges students, faculty and staff to sign up for text alerts, online @ spc.edu/alerts This will be used to inform students, faculty and staff in an emergency.

Only on WSPC: The Sound of Saint Peter’s College. I just caught their show here in the studio and its "pretty darn good!". ---- Bed "Red on white" by "Michael Ulery" Thesis: We're looking at the Third chapter of "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7. This chapter, entitled "Lights Out: Approaching the Historic Interval's End", delves into M.K. Hubbert and the other bunch of Cassandras who are in the rising chorus of voices warning with dry boring old statistics what is going to happen as surely as the sun will rise tomorrow. "Blood Is Thicker Than Oil" by "The Undercover Hippy" Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack" Synthesis: This third chapter, entitled "Lights Out", introduces us to the history of oil extraction, history being a relative term, since it starts in 1859 and the present is only 150 years later. But it goes into what we've done during these hundred and fifty years. The story of energy, and specifically the story of oil, is the story of economics, meaning supply and demand. We are starting to be engaged in the ultimate fight for a dwindling supply, and there is no doubt about that [ http://europe.theoildrum.com/node/4724 ] one quote says "The peakists have won ... to the peakists I say, you can declare victory. You are no longer the beleaguered small minority of voices crying in the wilderness. You are now mainstream. You must learn to take yes for an answer and be gracious in victory." The source of the quote [ http://www.peakoiltaskforce.net/ ] is the British government, conceding that peak oil is a fact.) We are facing an increasing demand expected to 40 billion barrels per years, or up by 60% from the levels of the turn of the millennium. M.K. Hubbert back in the 1950s saw the equations written on the wall. They spelt out, with mathematical certainty, the curves that the oil and gas fields production yields would trace as the fields reached their maturity (some would say their senescence!) The chapter is very boring, showing with charts, tables, graphs and power point types of crap that they were well aware or what was going to happen, when it was likely to happen, followed by charts showing what happened when it did happen. Most of the field yields, of all of the major and the minor oil producers, are examined, in detail. Some of the other major peak oil Cassandras, people like Kenneth S. Deferyes, L.F. Ivanhoe, Walter Youngquist, amongst others are quoted as well. Being fair, Hubbert Critics are also given a place. But there seems something rather Pollyanna about economists piping up about about supply and demand and Pareto curves etcetera, when there is so much they know nothing about, (lets be honest here, John Kenneth Galbraith and John Maynard Keynes, or even Karl Polanyi, don't strike me as the kind of men one finds up in a derrick wrestling with multi-ton equipment while suspended above a gantry floor. [Pushing a pencil and making a chart does not give one any perspective nor does it have any influence on what the oil people already know: Like blood draining into the desert sands, "Oil Is Running Out!"]) The point is made, at length and in detail, that peak oil is made up of many little peaks which add up to one big peak. The book then makes the points for damn near everybody before closing the chapter with the question: "Who Is Right? Why Does It Matter?" The point is very ably made that the state of the economy of course influences some of the timing and in turn the timing of events in our economy is dependent on the state of events. ---- "Computer Bitch" by: "Blood Bank" Bed: "Bomb In A Suede Smoking Jacket" by: "Juliet Hotel" off of: "Sojourn" Conclusion: There have been a lot of people involved in telling us the truth which we have not heard because, until the coming of the web, the distribution and dissemination organs were too tightly controlled.

'Scuse me while I set the kitchen timer here and we're going to listen to my iPod shuffle through the list of the sonotas that Scarlatti created as exercises for his Spanish and Portuguese students at their virginals and harpsichords. Domenico Scarlatti was a talented Neapolitan harpsichordist, son of Alesandro and brother of Pietro Phillipo. (Yeah, I know not exactly top 40 material that's burning up the charts with a bullet,) In 1719, after many travels through out the various kingdoms on the Italian peninsula he arrived in Lisbon and was a composer at the court of Spanish and Portuguese nobility. (The country of Italy still being centuries in the future, [waiting for its Unification by Garibaldi {yes,its the same Garibaldi that lived on Staten Island.}]) His most enduring works are those little finger exercises he composed for the little flowers that fell from the wombs of the "Iberian Donnas."

(Yes its true, your host is one of dangerous types, the gifted who will not bend to anyone's will, but who always question the reason for the existence of somebody's authority. [They would have force-fed me hemlock. :-]) The work was utterly brilliant and he defined the A-B-A partitioning of most of the music composition that followed after and that continues to this day. (Scratch a tune these days and its a direct lineal descendent of the sonatas pioneered by Scarlatti.) Every piece you're getting today can be found online but you would be better served if you got the 34 CD set recorded by the late Scott Ross [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ross_(harpsichordist) ] Scott Ross taught at "L'Université de Laval" inches north of Montréal.

Wed, 5 November 2008  msb-0344 A special message to my MS wellness group.msb-0344 A special message to my MS wellness group.Lets pretend that I'm giving away a computer because I feel munificent, benevolent and rich. I am none of those things. I have MS just like the rest of us in this wellness group. I'm pretty lucky that my MS has been in relapse for a while right now and that its not actively trying to kill me. I am giving this PC away because I had it to give, being one of the thinking man's toys I had picked up when I was still working. The computer is a thinking man's toy. Its has been able to start, give some underpinning and some proofs to an entire field mathematics, whole and entire and able to explain nature in an entirely new way. But fractal mathematics is neither here nor there when you've got MS. Its cute but frankly, unless you're a mathematician, who cares? We MSers are able to benefit from an entirely unintended consequence of living in this modern world. We MSers are already benefiting from: * the result of an experiment in telephony by the DOD who were trying to keep the lines of communications open even if part of the fabric of the network had holes torn in it by nuclear bombs, giving us the internet, and * the result of some work by the DOD and NASA in miniaturization, to see if we cold lob things over at the Soviets, giving us the microchip. Combining the power of: * a really cheap way of putting circuits together, (courtesy of Robert Noyce and Jack Kilby,) with * a really cheap way of connecting machines together, (courtesy of the Nerds who defied all logic and got the internet working, because they could,) with * a really cheap way of finding information, the search engine, (courtesy of Larry Page and Sergey Brin who funded Google, the winner of the search engine wars,) gives us the world as we have it now. Its a world that I like living in. Its got plenty of room for me, its got all of data I need, all of the information I need and helps me find out about all sorts of things. Does this make me smarter? No. It does not. It can't get into my head and make my brain grow. (But we'll get back to that before I'm done this evening, I promise.) It makes me a better informed person; it makes me someone who, by being better informed, is able to find out what is where and means that I am better able to evaluate drug regimens, medical teatments, (because we live in this country and we're still waiting for what every other industrial country has: single payer universal health care,) insurance plans. [unboxing the everex] [setting it up] [getting onto the web with Google] [answering questions about Google, and using it to find information about MS, MS treatments, etc.] [putting it back in the box and raffling it off.] Now we're back talking about how the internet and the computer can't get into my head and make my brain grow. That's true, it can't, but it can make my brain grow more interconnections between neurons and solidify existing connections through repeated use of certain neural pathways. There is a field of medecine which is studying the mechanisms of something called neuroplasticity and it turns out the mechanisms of neuroplasticity are directly opposed to those of Alzheimer's with its increasing plaques and lesions and the death of large parts of the brain. Will using computers keep you from getting Alzeimher's? No, but it could give you a chance at dealing with it better than sitting there like a bump on a log until you become no smarter that the log you're sitting on. MS is a disease of the immune system. It gives the immune system cues that make the immune system attack the nervous system. The nervous system is a key component of the command and control system that is the primary element in making us who we are, how well we move, the spasticity we exhibit, how well we feel, the phantom pain we react to. Lets use the circumstances that led to the internet to create another unintended consequence, the finding if effective treatments and cures for MS.

It took us a hundred and fifty years to get here, which means that none of the people who started that fire are still around. And if any of you wonder about the truth of this, there is no oil left in Pennsylvania is there? The source of John D. Rockekeller's money done dried up didn't it. There's no Penn left in Penzoil. There isn't much oil left in Texas or Oklahoma either. Its either all gone or now too expensive to get at in the scattered small pockets left . Why? Because its a natural resource and, like the trees on Easter Island, like the forests and grass lands that used to cover the Sahara, like the trees that used to cover Elsemere Island in Canada's arctic for that matter, things change and yesterdays resource filled land is tomorrow's stinking desert. We are on the point of a quickening slide down a roller-coaster ride where oil and everything made from it are going to cost a whole lot more and more as billions, billions, of people are willing to bid on a barrel of oil. The price of oil is going up because of that fact alone; but when combined with something observed by M. K. Hubbert in the 1950's, peak oil which led him to predict when the US oil fields would run out, well, we'd better get ready for oil prices without a ceiling and the sky's the limit. ---- "Break Everything" by "PATTY HURST SHIFTER" off off "TOO CROWDED ON THE LOSING END" ---- We've got PSAs: ---- Campus Safety urges students, faculty and staff to sign up for text alerts, online @ spc.edu/alerts This will be used to inform students, faculty and staff in an emergency.

This chapter, entitled "Party Time", delves into the history of energy use by man, from the discovery of fire to the discovery of oil. Of course the resource is both a source of energy and a source of raw materiel. "Broken Windbreak" by "Kwyjibo" off of "The Rise Of Kwyjibo" Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack" Synthesis: This second chapter, entitled "Party Time", delves into the history of energy use by man, • since the discovery of fire, in times immemorial, • through Medieval Europe, when the energy source was wood, • through the coal revolution, initially occurring in China about 4,000 years ago but spreading to Europe in the thirteenth century when it was used in metal working due to the higher temperatures achieved by coal-fed fires, • to the use of "petroleum", which is Greek for "rock oil", to make up for the rapidly dwindling biotic supplies of oil, like vegetable oils, whales oils, animal tallows and other sources of lubricants required by an ever expanding industrial regime, • to the development of the cracking, distillation and other refining of oil and the micacle of fire from a non-biotic source other than coal. The fortune amassed by legal, illegal and occasional downright criminal means by John D. Rockefeller in both money and power still lasts to this day. But the story of petroleum shifts from being just an energy source, like fires in a bucket with strikers gathered all round it, huddling for warmth. The development of Organic Chemistry and the sheer usefulness of petroleum as a feed stock for its processes, led to its adoption in agriculture for fertilizers, for use in the internal combustion engine which revolutionized the field of transportation, which involved warfare, both in the commission of war and of the decisions taken about splitting up the Ottoman Empire and the inevitability of the actual outcomes of both the world wars, led, in an almost direct line to the next topic of the next section in the chapter "Oil, Geopolitics and the Global Economy: 1950-1980. After a wide ranging exploration, the next section of the chapter "1980-2001: Lost Opportunities and the Prelude to Catastrophe" goes into the sheer blunders committed in the name of securing control over oil. Virtually everything that has happened since has had no impact on the crisis or the solution. (Over 4,000 dead Americans,and tens of thousands of dead Iraqis and Afghanis and citizens of other countries who's only crime was sitting in a café or walking down a street targeted by some terrorist or other.) ---- "Broken Wings (For Chet)" by: "Melissa Forbes" off of "No More Mondays" Bed: "Bomb In A Suede Smoking Jacket" by: "Juliet Hotel" off of: "Sojourn" Conclusion: So instead of weaning ourselves off of oil, and onto renewable fuel and energy sources, the price of oil has been controlled to within a few dollars to keep it cheaper than to pursue the hunt for energy alternatives. Until the US economy has crashed, look at your and/or your parents' 401Ks for irrefutable, dollars to doughnuts, confirmation, and its not burning because it has run out of fuel. Basically, like the Aesop's the sad tale of "The Grasshopper And The Ant", winter's here and we have put nothing away for the cold wintry days.

McFrontalot of Nerdcore - The funniest videos clips are here. This is episode 14 We're nowhere near real time and I'm recording this show on Sunday. How did you like Friday's Halloween special? How did you like the special Halloween show on after mine featuring "woodstock". 6 to midnight. It kicked some serious, uh, butt, didn't it? :-) Thank heaven for Vincent Price... A veritable "Tour de Force" wasn't it. And man we were sweating our butts off in that studio.

I wonder when I'll have done enough magic around WSPC... I wonder when I'll have shown that the wiki works, I wonder when I'll have convinced the rest of the people at WSPC that they should get with the program and record all of their promos, I wonder when I'll have persuaded them that they could/should record any of the shows that don't need interaction with the audience.

Sun, 2 November 2008 msb-0343 The law of Unintended ConsequencesThe Unintended Consequence .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.com/ ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... There's nothing to feedback at you except that you still seem to be there, downloading the shows and pushing me over "a hundred thousand downloads." That's incredible, but its true. You've put up with my lousy delivery, dubious musical tastes and moods over 100,000 times. I hope to continue for a while longer. ---- "Mothers Uncle" by: "Ernie Payne" http://www.black-and-tan.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "A Mothers Love" by: "Roscoe Chenier" http://www.black-and-tan.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... But I seem to be shedding a lot of weight instead. It would help if the big media companies could figure out a way to make money off the internet. That would mean that I could too. I suspect that its going to be a meritocracy, where content will be king and POV will count for everything. Lets hope that the "unintended consequences" happen sooner than later. ---- "Sweet Mother Blues" by: "Mean Gene Kelton and The Die Hards" http://www.genekelton.com/ "Thesis:" The unintended consequences that I was referring to in the title of this post are the results of what gets displaced in the tub of commerce when big things like the internet, peak oil and the disintegrating financial markets serendipitously slosh lives and a way of life down the over flow. Stick with me folks, this is going to be a three episode run plus a wrap-up episode, of heavy-duty thinking (interspersed with music of course,) that should take us through November. ---- "Mother Mary" by: "Bang Tango" http://www.perrisrecords.com/bango.htm "Synthesis:" Lets begin with the internet. The DOD experiment in building a scalable communication system capable of surviving nuclear devastation is at the true heart of the state we're in. I'm not going to bore you with a history lesson. Its only 50 years old after all. That's not enough time to have a history; that's barely enough time to have a definition. We're going to explore the the internet from its nature, from its structural and functional aspects. Taking the tack of a typical five year old who simply accepts that things have always been the way they are, when you can get a five year old to even admit to thinking, we're going to look at the way things are. Unlike a typical five year old, we're also going to look around to see what the internet displaced, just a few examples, nothing exhaustive; don't worry. The internet was initially started as an experiment in a scalable network structures. The idea was that if the phone systems went down, the military command and control structure should be able to communicate with its surviving appendages of the military/industrial complex. (Remember the "Eisenhower's 'Farewell Address' to the nation?" [go back to "msb-0205 Farewell Address {Eisenhower's, not Mine}" if you need to.] That was one of the more fateful speeches uttered by a president.) That experiment was successful beyond its wildest dreams. The cold war was getting underway and the phone system of the day was simply not up to the task because of its reliance on a "trunk and exchange" communication system. That set the stage for what would become DARPA, the X.25 switching network, the internet, e-mail (which started as a hack so that machine A could talk to machine B and as a verification of the connection, so that the operator of machine A could send a mesage to the operator of machine B. (There were no such things as sysops and sysadmins, 50 years ago.) Well lets look at what this displaced, what slopped over onto the bathroom floor shall we? The entire internal structure of the telephone network was made entirely digital, packet switched and made essentially faster while it made sending a packet from any point to any point damn near free. That's a systemic change and entirely "sub rosa". While extremely expensive, it was paid for by me and thee and was accomplished on the regular equipment maintenance schedule. (It didn't occur to anyone to bother to charge separate fees for this until later [when we "paid for" "fiber to the home" for years, while the telcos delivered exactly and precisely 0 feet and 0 inches of it.]) In the meantime, the developments in electronics, funded by DARPA and NASA, (the DOD and its buddies who were sending "meat in a can" up in space in an effort to put something up there that they could drop on the Soviets,) led to miniaturization and the development by Robert Noyce, who was at Fairchild Semiconductor and Jack Kilby, who was at Texas Instruments, of the integrated circuit which solved the interconnection problem. (One of the greatest lacunae in the latter quarter of the 20th century is that this approach is not widely known and emulated.) Then from intel, Motorola and a host of now smaller players came the 4004, the 8008, the 8080, the z80, the 8088, the 8086, the 80x86, the 6502, the 6800, the 680x0 series, the Pentium series, the PowerPC, the Lisp machine series, the Dandy series from Xerox, the POWER architecture from IBM etcetera, yahdah, yahdah, yahdah. They operated at kilohertz and now they're operating in gigahertz. RAM went from being little magnetic doughnuts strung on wires to chips (made of silicon or, when you needed speed, germanium,) and measured by the Kb then by the Mb and now by the Gb. At the same time, storage you could have on your desktop went from bits and bytes, to kilobytes, to megabytes, to gigabytes, to terabytes. And since then, out have gone the telephone operator, the secreterial pool, the word processing pool (which has come and gone;) the system operator is another highly valued dinosaur, and just as extinct. The very concept of a cutting room has been left on the cutting room floor of history. I'm "not" complaining. The lack of cut up pieces of negatives is a positive as far as I'm concerned. The truth is that almost nobody has not been affected by the internet and of the information embodied therein. But with the creation of the internet came the creation of the world wide web and, inevitably, the creation of the search engine, and of Google. The printing press is becoming HTML, XML, and yesterday's New York Times, or the Mizzima News in Jadhavpur, Kolkata, is becoming distributed without a single tree having been felled. A billion forms used in govermental business are all .PDFs, transmitted at the speed of light, stored reduntently in RAID storage systems and instantly accessible to anyone with a password or a (in)decent hack. The grand telephony experiment that began as an attempt to survive the command and control communication problem that the DOD created for itself with the Manhattan project, has certainly evolved, (some might say metastacized, [specially the millions who have seen their way of life disappear.]) The feature creep that military acquisitions are all subject to spread like oil over waters and the heating up of the economy has turned it into a highly combustible vapor. (But we're doing those later...) ---- "Mother Natures Way" by: "Lumberjack Mafia" http://www.lumberjackmafia.com/ "Conclusion:" The internet is the mother of all unintended consequences, but its own parents, oil dependency and war, and its twin children, "peak oil" and "the meltdown of the financial markets" are combining to change the world in in ways that are quite apocalyptic. Think on this: There are more people alive right now than have lived on the planet before, "ever." More people, corporations and governments are on the internet today than existed and screwing wit the lives of more peple that have been screwed with before, "ever." Even the poorest Egyptian fellah, Indian peon or Burmese peasant has a cell phone these days with call-waiting, voice mail, text messaging and internet access. What has this done to the top down autocratic structure? How can you maintain an autocracy or plutocracy in such an open environment? Where everybody can see what the king is wearing, or "not" wearing...

(I asked my "Radio 201" classmates if "any" of them had heard of peak oil. I got some great "deer in the headlights" stares. I really want these guys and gals to catch all of the episodes of this show because they're so incredably unprepared. I'm podcasting this show for "them.") How can we run "out" of oil? How can we "run" out of oil? Easy, use more than we make (or more accurately, than we find; we don't make any outside of a laboratory,) and eventually it will become scarce and then scarcer, and cost more and more, and more. Don't think it can happen? Texas "used" to have oil didn't it? And now it doesn't. Pennsylvania used to have oil, didn't it? And it hasn't for quite a while. (Made John D. Rockerfeller the richest man on earth for a while, then he died. "Sic transit, gloria mundi") What happened? Peak oil for the 'States did. Back in 1972. It doesn't matter if you think that oil comes from dinosaurs (like a few naive folks out there do,[fossil fuel indeed,]) or if you think that oil is the result of abiotic, geological processes and that oil arises from underground and therefore inorganic, anaerobic sources. The fact is that, either as non-renewable fossil fuel, or as geologically slowly renewing abiotic fuel source, we're running out. Our resource depletion outstrips resource discovery (or natural production.) And its only going to get worse. Here's a site for some media you can go and get: http://www.oilcrashmovie.com/ into Google, iTunes and watch it whenever, (if you've got a video capable player, you can even watch it wherever.) Its not a perfect movie but if you need something to scare the crap out of you, it can do that. Its a bunch of rich white dudes becoming a bunch of, uh, concerned, rich white dudes hoping that they don't get burned in effigy or lynched when it plays out. Googling "Peak Oil" gives you a wealth of stuff, some of which is utter crap and some of which is reasoned, well researched, well thought out stuff.

"Business Ain't Music" by "Maria Daines" off of "Wisdom's Tooth" Bed: "Wrapped in Tinfoil" by "Digital Droo" off of "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack" Synthesis: The first chapter is called "Energy, Nature and Society" and it explores the earth's energy budget, 1,372 watts of sunlight energy hit every square meter of this planet. It then goes into how nature uses that energy in, "Energy in Ecosystems: Eating and Being Eaten" which gets us into a system's "carrying capacity", that is the maximum population load per species. There are lots of examples of things exceeding an environment's carrying capacity and having population crashes or outright extinction. Some of those things are people who altered their environments, exceeded the carrying capacity of the new environment and died various kinds of messy, slow and agonizing deaths. (Extinction is "never" clean, quick, or painless.) It then goes into how people use that energy, "Social Leveraging Strategies: How to Gain an Energy Subsidy" which gets us into the exploitation of some mechanisms for expanding the environment's carrying capacity. * takeover * tool use * specialization * scope enlargement and * drawdown. I am not going to repeat everything that the book says, including the sources. Go and buy a copy. This is a "precis" not a copyright violation. It then goes into how, since we've outstripped the earth's carrying capacity through our increasing dependence on one non-renewable resource: "OIL", we're going to have to manage "Complexity and Collapse: Societies in Energy Deficit" and gives examples of civilizations that didn't. Lastly it goes into "Applied Socio-Ecohistory: Explaining the American Success Story" and explores the chemistry of energy historic and current role of energy and its effect on social economic, military and political structures. ---- "Business As Usual" by: "Sudden Death" off of "Die Laughing" Bed: "Bomb In A Suede Smoking Jacket" by: "Juliet Hotel" off of: "Sojourn" Conclusion: I hope you're paying attention (I mean really, "really" paying attention, [ I'm not worried if you're enjoying the show. { This is college radio after all, aint nobody's listening but us stoonts... } ] ) The history of all society is the history of the search for exploitable sources of energy. Until the harnessing of hydro power and then steam, that source was the dog, the horse and the oxen; basically animal power. Then about 1850 one of the animal sources for energy, whales for oil to light our lamps with, became extremely scarce and extremely expensive. (You will find this to be an economic truth which will haunt you for your entire lives, your succes as human beings will be directly related to your sucess at husbanding resources of varying scarcity.) Over the next six shows, we will explore the world as it will unfold, as hinted at in "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7.

We're nowhere real time. It's Wednesday night October 22, 2008 and I'm feeling inspired. Apart from the major portion of this show being an expression of love (as in the album "Expressions of Love") I made some off hand reference to professor Lamachia about having some Tuvan throat singing music. We had a good laugh, but I started remembering when they'd come to "The Knitting Factory" back in November of 2001 (if memory serves me.) My wife, her cousin and her husband, and myself were in serious need of distraction, some sultan wannabe Fascist imbecile having recently torn a hole in our sky and brought down our next door neighbor in a piece of Arab street theatre. We we're wandering, still a bit shell-shocked, through our old haunts in lower Manhattan when we happened upon the Tuvan Throat Singers of Richard Feinman fame. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing these artists play the tunes you're going to hear frst and last. ----- We begin with "Medly Of Throat-Singing Styles" by "Kongar-Ool Ondar Accompanied By Doshpuluur" off of the album: "Deep In The Heart Of Tuva" ---- We got PSAs: ---- Are you hardcore enough to go without talking for 24 hours?

I don't want to scare the crap out of you, but if that's what it takes to wake you up than, so be it. My own epiphany happened early last year, in 2007. I came across a web site that led me to some other web sites and, after a bit, I started to ask myself if these kooks could just happen to be right. I bought a book (not an unusual event for me.) It was called "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7. This book in 275 pages gives you all the insights you need to get started in surviving the oil era (I can't even call it an age, like the "Bronze Age" or the "Iron Age", its less that two hundred years old, and, in that short period of time, we've managed to blow through around half of it.) Knowing the All American propensity for ignoring people until it was half past too late, I started to look through the cracks and discovered exactly what M. King Hubbert meant by the expression "Peak Oil". By the way, if you doubt that ignoring people is what America does best, to its own detriment, does the name William Edwards Deming ring a bell with anybody? He invented the entire field of statistical sampling, quality control and a methodology that was utterly ignored until he had to "leave the 'States" and go to Japan, where he turned around Japanese industry and, now that Toyota is eating GM's lunch, the value of his approach has been recognized. How about the name R. Buckminster Fuller? His Dymaxion car and the principles that guided his engineering and his architecture led to the Geodesic domes and his fame lives on in Material Science in "Fullerines" and nanodevices. M. King Hubbert stated back in 1956 that peak oil in the 'States would occur between 1966 and 1972. The peak in US oil production occured in 1970 and the oil reserves have been going down until there's no economically recoverable oil left. We've been squeezing the shelves on both sides of the continent dry ever since. We're going to cover the book over the next six weeks. (One per chapter.) We're also going to give reference to the other sources of information on the web and point you to a whole series of YouTube videos on the subject. And I get to play all this podsafe music for you while scaring the bejeezus out of your complacency, but forewarned is forearmed so its better that you know, rather than being blindsided by what will inevitably happen, and can make plans around weaning yourself off of America's oil addiction. ---- "First Date" by "Danko Jones" off of "Sleep Is The Enemy" Bed: "Watching The Sky Fall" by: "Hugh Campbell" off of "The comedown machine" Synthesis: In 242 pages + end notes, a bibliography and an index, Mr. Heinberg manages to deflate the accomplishments of the past century and a half and depress the hell out of anybody who thinks that its just going to go on the same as it has been. Its not a particularly fun read. (Sort of like my MS diagnosis was not a fun read.) But after spending the first 5 charters and 200 pages establishing how oil got into our lives over the past one hundred and fifty years and altered almost every aspect of our power structures, the books launches into how we're going to have to manage the collapse of those power structures. If we do this with a modicum of intelligence, the changes don't have to be the equivalent to Afghanistan under "Mullah Omar". (Shoot me now, because its just a question of time before he'd order his zealots to do it.) The questions are myriad and the answers are always going to be "yes!" * Yes, we're going to have to do everything in a sustainable manner and * yes, we're going to have to factor in things like the energy required at every step of a product's life cycle, and * yes, we're going to have fond memories of airline travel, private travel and even rapid travel, and * yes, we're going to hate to commute and share the rides, * yes, we're about to say goodbye to living in the suburbs, except for retirement communities, * yes, we're going to have to recycle because we're no longer able to afford the cost of hauling away trash, and * yes, we're going to have to deal with the resentment of everybody on the planet, * yes, we're going to wave bye bye to fruits and veggies from everywhere on the planet, * yes, we're going to get used to eating locally grown varieties, (which tends to be an oxymoron, variety will be limited to whatever you can order from a seed catalog and grow in farms and co-ops like the one my wife and I belong to,) and * yes, we're going to have to get over having the kinds of hospital expenditures we've got now, (the HMOs are going to be absolute Hell to deal with as prices rise,[unless we wake up and have a health policy based on reason like the rest of the world's industrialized countries,]) and * yes there are all kinds of things that are going to have to change and, * yes, we're looking at a few major plagues and other ecological disasters that we won't be able to avoid, (floods in low lying areas, typhoons and hurricanes leaving more cities like New Orleans and leaving entire countries like Myanmar/Burma, earthquakes shattering economies like in China's south...) The list goes on, but basically you're going to be left to rely on your own physical resources. But, and this is the biggest and heaviest "but" we're ever going to have, we'll have a wealth of information at our fingertips since, while the schools may have to move because there's no more "energy in the budget", we've still laid down the foundations of the next economy, the next world order, in shining glass strands. We're looking at hydro-electricity and bandwidth becoming becoming essential to life in the post-oil world. ---- "Me Llaman Calle" by: "Manu Chao" off of "La Radiolina" Bed: "Take Time for the Tub" by: "Derek K. Miller" off of: "Penmachine Sessions" Conclusion: Over the next seven shows, we will explore the world as it will unfold, as hinted at in "The Party's OVER, Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" by "Richard Heinberg" ISBN: 0-86571-482-7. While its the kind of book that you reject as impossible because everything, and I do mean everything, "everything" that you know is going to change, or as improbable as man flying around in some machine (I am older than commercial jet service and my grand-fathers were older that aviation itself, so that argument flies out the window,) its also the kind of book that will not be denied. Even unscientific non-believer creationists drive cars, well except the Amish, (and we'll look at them in more detail later. :-) When we run out of oil, meaning when its just not worth it to suck it out of the ground like we've been doing, because we're gettin' pretty red in the face and about to pop an artery, well, we "all"run out of oil. ---- "Esperanza" by "Sophia Ramos" off of "Her Majesty" Bed "Forensic" by: "Nick Murray" Outro This episode featured the following music: * "The Fight That No One Can Win" by "Life Has Teeth * Bed "Machinery" by "Might Could" off of "All Intertwined" * "First Date" by "Danko Jones" off of "Sleep Is The Enemy" * Bed: "Watching The Sky Fall" by: "Hugh Campbell" off of "The comedown machine" * "Me Llaman Calle" by: "Manu Chao" off of "La Radiolina" * Bed: "Take Time for the Tub" by: "Derek K.

We're nearly real time. ----- We begin with a future classic, Its called "Final Fantasy Battle Medley" by "Piano Squall" off the album: "Game" (I know him 'cause his gramma has what I have, MS. {Yeah it sucks but there it is. I'm not a physically perfect specimen of manhood.) ---- There was a PSAs but it was for an event yesterday, so I missed it. Hopefully, your club or association will, to quote Groucho Marx, "say the magic word and the duck will come down." (Comedy writing) Or perhaps it will, to quote Karl Marx, say "Workers control the means of production." (Political Science) I'm not going to ruin the mood by coming up with quotes from Louis Marx. (Micro-economic toy stories. [Sorry, I'm just showing off to my friends in West Virginny. {Yes, I've been everywhere man. I've been everywhere. (One of the advantages of growing up on rising slope side of "Peak Oil".

(And I'm hoping to get a phone interview, or more, with Dr Kirsten Sanford out of UC Davis on the shows. Amongst a whole slew of other media, she does "This Week in Science" with her co-host Justin Jackson)}])}]) ---- There's still no prerecorded promos (Well except for mine that I played for you on last show.) <sigh> ---- I'm in a mood for the ends. (I'd play "Ends" by "Everlast" if I could, from "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues" ... But it just wouldn't be just stretching the definition of classical, it would make a loud snapping sound. Now... "Adelante la musica" Streaming here on WSPC's Thyme Warp "Finale (The Dargason): St. Paul's Suite (Opus 29 No. 2)" by: "English String Orch. - William Boughton" from the album: "The Spirit Of England Disc 4: Works for String Orchestra - II" on ThymeWarp here on WSPC "Finale" by "Pamela Frank, Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax" from the album: "Arrgh.

Okay, we're now in near real time. First lemme apologize for the level or timing flubs the last few shows. I'm not used to the production mechanism here at WSPC so... I screwed it up a bit. But this show should be okay. What would life be without the occasional embarrassment, the episodic humiliation and total degradation of, me, your obviously inept and amateurish host, for these little soiree forays into classical moosica. One of the reasons I love education is its a chance to screw up without having to face the wrath of a big man, his cheap necktie all askew, steam coming out of his ears, his florid face sputtering out in a scream that: I'll "never woik in dis town agin. Ya hear?" ----- We begin with a future classic, and with this I hope to show that classical music doesn't have to be deadly dull and like watching oil paint dry. Its called "Under the Rug" by "Digital Droo" off the album: "Active Lancer Original Soundtrack" ---- There's still no PSAs. C'mon folks... Somebody somewhere must have something they want me to say about their wonderful program, or something... ---- There's still no promos. Well, screw it down and let the winds have at it. Here's my 4 promos: ---- I'm in a mood for strings, as opposed to woodwinds or brass. (I used to be a classical guitarist in my misspent yout', so you're gonna be hearing some; played by "Andres Segovia", no less.) Now... "Adelante la musica" "Andante sostenuto" from the Concerto No.2 G minor" by "Arthur Rubinstein and Wallenstein" from an album called: "Symphony of the Air" "adantino Variato" by: "Paganini-Ponce" played by:"Andrés Segovia" from the album: "The Romantic Guitar" "Sarabande" from "Three Pieces For Violin" by: "Bach" played by:"Andrés Segovia" from the album "The Segovia Collection (volume 1) "Chaconne" also by: "Bach" also played by:"Andrés Segovia" from the album "The Segovia Collection (volume 1) "Allegro" movement from the "Concerto 2 for two cellos and orchestra in G minor" by "Antonio Vivaldi" from an album called "Best of Baroque" "Symphony No.6"PASTORALE" / Happy feeling aroused on arriving in the country" (which should tell you something about German to English translators) by: "Beethoven" of course, conducted by "Arturo Toscanini" fron an album of "Beethoven Symphonies" ---- I'm almost resinged to the fact that classical record companies never do the MP3 tags properly.

There is still no feedback as of yet (I'm recording this on Saturday, September 13th, 2008,) I'm not expecting any because the episodes haven't even aired yet. I know that I'm only supposed to be a diversion, and that the music should go in one ear and out the other without snagging any brain cells and distracting any you from anything important, but this episode is pretty much all Bach and I dare say some of you might even put down a pencil or paused in the tap tap tapping of the keyboard because, well it is Bach, and he "was" that "good". We begin with a future classic, "Twist In My Sobriety" by "Tanita Tikaram" from the album:"Ancient Heart" (4:52) ---- There's still no PSAs. ---- There's still no promos. ---- Now... "Adelante la musica" "Badinerie" by: "J. S.

Mon, 27 October 2008 spc_wspc_ThymeWarp_0002This is episode 2. There is no feedback as of yet (I'm recording this on Saturday, September 13th, 2008,) not that I'm expecting any because the episodes haven't even aired yet. Get real after all. Last week was a mishmosh of Chopin and assorted minor hits (Like I just just got winged by Handel man, and it hurts like [bleep]!) As much as I'd want to do otherwise, I'm supposed to distract you, while not directly engaging your minds in open rebellion and plotting insurection against the "Powers That Be" (And who said an education was a safe path to knowledge? Not me. [ I'm a child of the 'Sixties when foment and dissent were in the air.{ Which 'Sixties, the nineteen sixties and all those student rebellions that scarred the educational system of France to this day,; the eighteen sixties with the Civil War, the War of Secession, raging all around claiming lives; the seventeen sixties and the war of independence giving birth to this very country. ( No, education is never a "safe" path, but it is often is the "only" path to a better tomorrow. :-)}]) We begin with a future classic, "The Future" by "Leonard Cohen" from the album:"The Future" (6:43) ---- There still no PSAs. ---- There's still no promos. ---- Now...

Mon, 27 October 2008 spc_wspc_ThymeWarp_0001Link to the episode: NotYet This is an introduction * to me, * to the format of the show, * to something that I want to slip in each show, (Classical music is being made as we listen, as well as by old dead people you couldn't possibly have met,) * to a PSA, * to a promo, * to the music itself, * to a recap of what you heard. So, lets get started: I am an older student. I have had my eyes and ears open for what seems like an eternity and I "love" music; any kind of music, any genre, any language, any rythm, and any arrangement, as long as it is well played. (Either you know your instrument or you never made it into my iPod Classic.) I will start off each show with a single tune from my eclectic collection; which may be anything, including Yelli of the "Baka Forest People" Tuvan Throat Singing, big band music, sixties folk, acid rock, "French Chanteuse", all the way to country & western "hurting songs". Apart from the obvious introductory tune,we will be focusing on classical music, having a place for PSAs, WSPC promos, filling your ears with some classical music and then I will wrap up with a recap of the tunes you were subjected to in an uninterupted fashion for the prior hour. The intro to this episode is "Television, The Drug Of The Nation" by: "The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy" from the album: "Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury" (6:39) The place for PSA (Public Service Announcements) is as yet unfilled. The place for promos is as yet unfilled. The music of this and most every episode is selected to not snag into your consciousness. You should be okay to jog around campus, read, study, sleep through a boring lecture ("No such thing... You're only as bored as you're boring!") You don't have to pay any attention to the melodies whatsoever. (Except if you're a music student; then there's going to be a test after, so "stay sharp" [Sorry, stay in whatever key it says on the stave.]) Now... "Adelante la musica" "Gymnopedie no. 1" by: "Erik Satie" played by: "Pascal Rogé" from the album: "After the Rain...The Soft Sounds of Erik Satie" (3:12) "Nocturne no.2 in Eb, Op.9 no.2" by: "Fréderik Chopin" played by: "Vladimir Ashkenazy" from the album: "The Chopin Experience: Chopin the Poet" (4:03) "'Minute' Waltz (Chopin)" by: "Fréderik Chopin", played by: "Vladimir Ashkenazy" from the album: "The Greatest Classical Show on Earth (Disc 1)" (1:52) "Scherzo No. 3 in C sharp minor, Op. 39" by: "Fréderik Chopin" played by "Vladimir Ashkenazy" from the album:"The Chopin Experience - Chopin the Dramatist" (6:45) "Piano Concerto in D minor, K 466 - I. Allegro" by: "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)" from the album: "The Mozart Experience - Piano Concerto in D minor and in C [disc 2/5]" (13:32) "Peer Gynt Suite no. 1 op 46 Teil 1" by: "Edward Grieg & Jean Sibelius" from the album: "Valse Triste" (4:11) "Ballade No. 1, Op. 23" by: "Frédéric Chopin" from the album: "Evgeny Kissin - 4 Ballades - Berceuse - Barcarolle -Scherzo No. 4" (9:54) "... -- Allegro ma non troppo" by: "Serge Prokofiev" from the album: "Great Pianists of the 20th Century - Martha Argerich 1 (Disc 2)" (9:03) I have no idea what's coming up next because, the schedules hadn't been finalized by the time this show was prepared. This is being recorded Friday, September 12, 2008. What? You didn't think this show was live did you? Its not a sporting, political or other temporally delimited event, say on which money might be riding on the outcome, nor is there any need to tie you down at a single point in time, like a feedback topic show ... so there's no need for immediacy.

I'm putting all of my show notes and have direct links to the actual shows on my Wiki [ http://msbpodcast.pbwiki.com/spc_wspc_ThymeWarp and http://msbpodcast.pbwiki.com/spc_P34k_O1l. (Drop by and take a listen if you want to.) In the mean time, I've been thinking about the current economic crunch and I've got a prediction about what's going to happen macro-economically speaking. ---- "Only in it for the Money" by: "Noel Miller" http://noelmiller.net/ "Thesis:" The market economy, which all economies fundamentally are, even when screwed with by government beyond the essentials, has been riding the value inflation of a bunch of bubbles since 2001. I would like to predict that the irrationally exuberant increases that have come to the world, since the coincident creation of the world-wide web by the way, are "all" going to vanish "dans le néant", into "a state of non-being." ---- "Money From The Satisfied Man" by: "Paul Jefferey" http:// "Synthesis:" I've been reading a lot of wise and learned articles as well as ignorant twaddle and tripe on economics (and "Reaganomics" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics ] is amongst the latter, since its been proven wrong by several critics [look in the Wikipedia article for one of the most concise summaries.]) If we look at the increase in the USs' GDP since 1995, its been running at an average of 3.5% [ http://www.commerce.gov/ and http://www.bea.gov/ Have fun with the research.]. That means 13 years of compound growth based on nothing but suppositions and flying in the face of the web bubble debacle, the ongoing outsourcing/offshoring debacle, the ongoing melt down of the auto industry, the ongoing real-estate melt down debacle and "the straw that broke the camel's back", the ongoing finance/bank debacle. That should tell you that the economy has grown over 51% since then ("ceteris paribus".) If we take into account the real growth in the economy, meaning that the web bubble debacle, the ongoing outsourcing/offshoring debacle, the ongoing melt down of the auto industry, the ongoing real-estate melt down debacle and "the straw that broke the camel's back", the ongoing finance/bank debacle are all "minuses," while the "fictitious plusses" of the economy are greater than the 51%. Well guess were the economy is going to readjust to? The market high, less the real costs of the web bubble debacle, the ongoing outsourcing/offshoring debacle, the ongoing melt down of the auto industry, the ongoing real-estate melt down debacle and "the straw that broke the camel's back", the ongoing finance/bank debacle. Our economy is about to contract is real dollar terms by that much. Bernanke and Paulson and the rest have done their best to avoid deflation and depression but some of it is inevitable. That's what being in a depression means. Its not that everybody's broke and unemployed, they won't be, but its that a lot of people are going to suffer. And with this disease, we know about phantom pain, and phantom euphoria, as well as real pain and real euphoria. But we also know something else, the United States economy doesn't know what to do to or for, by, with of from, the approximately 15% of its citizens who are disabled and who are disadvantaged by the narrow optics of an economy that ignores everything without a leading dollar sign. ---- "kiss my moneymaker pt1" by: "harri best" http://www.harribest.com/ "Conclusion:" Time will tell if the economy reaches an equilibrium at near 1995 levels (just think of how much the economy had grown since then, kiss it all "bye bye",) before starting on an up trend again. Somethings have changed by and because of the introduction of the web, (we now have access to vastly greater stores of data, [and, some might say, of information,] because of Google,) while others are entirely fictional creations and served to pump up the "numbers" of the currency, while doing nothing for the "value" of the currency. It still does nothing to address the issue of market value for things that are fundamentally only tangentially related to the market (like "Health Care", which is handled like "Health-Don't-Care" here while being properly served in the rest of the industrialized world.) Until the United States recognizes that simple fact, "all" of it citizens will continue to be screwed over by the marketeers, (since even William F. Buckley got sick and died,) and the concept of market forces. ---- "money" by: "peter, bjorn and john" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Shes on the Money" by: "gamma ray sam" http://www.uncleslack.co.uk/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Money Control" by: "Voide" http://www.voide.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Only in it for the Money" by: "Noel Miller" http://noelmiller.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Money From The Satisfied Man" by: "Paul Jefferey" http:// album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "kiss my moneymaker pt1" by: "harri best" http://www.harribest.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "money" by: "peter, bjorn and john" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://msbpodcast.pbwiki.com/TheShows ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... I was watching "Howard Kunstler" screed again and I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that people of my late fathers generation brought us as much crap as they didn't. What were they thinking? Were they thinking? I can only surmise that, half the time, they weren't. And today's show has no more "begging" speech because, while I'm not throwing in the towel, I'm hanging it up for a while. ---- "Stand" by: "Beth Thornley" http://www.beththornley.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so...

Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" Some body sent me this (yes, its anonymous again, [You're too shy people.]) Its about "referred pain', what I've called "Phantom Pain". This "article" ( http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/16/health/research/16pain.html?ref=science ) from the New York Times referred to the fact that "where it says it hurts is often not where it actually hurts". Take special care with our messed up nervous systems. We could be getting a symptom and not recognize it. ---- "Stand in Line" by: "The Bent Scepters" http://www.myspace.com/bentscepters Feed Me comes third, so... Since I'm off to college again, I'm not begging for advertisers. The downloads are still coming in, between 100 and 300 a day, but its too late. ALL of those are going out without a peep from any advertiser. (None of the MSers who listen to this podcast will ever hear about MS related products.) ---- "Stand in spirit" by: "Fern" http://www.fernmusic.co.uk/ "Thesis:" I am changing direction and taking a communication major at St. Peter's College. I have MS. I'm "not" dead, I just have some mobility issues, and MS doesn't make me any stupider. I'm changing profession because I have no choice, since MS has made me anathema to the squeakily healthy, blitheringly incompetent, ignominious ignoramuses in the IT field, where they figure if you're not wet behind the ears, (read: stupid enough to work a seventy hour week for thirty-five hour's pay,) you're too old to "get it" anymore. ---- "Stand And Stare" by: "Postal Blue" http://www.postalblue.net/ "Synthesis:" I have decided to go back to college. I'm taking radio, media studies and communications. Its what I know best and it involves lots of what I've been doing over the years. Furthermore, its basically recession proof. People will need radio for as long as they have ears. The powers that be will need radio for as long as they feel a need to tell people what to do (and there are times when people need other people to coordinate their efforts,) Radio stations will need people who can just sit there and wait and talk and convey messages that come in needing dissemination. Radio has been around as a commercial entity since the nineteen twenties, predating the crash of 'twenty-nine', the second world war, myriad subsequent conflicts and the rise of oil as an energy source. Crystal sets don't even need batteries... ---- "Stand" by: "Jen Elliott" http://www.citycanyons.com/jenElliott/index.html "Conclusion:" Lets hope that this leads me to another 30 year career.

The video that accompanies this wiki page, this podcast entry, this blog entry is just "Chicks On Speed" captured at one point in time and, just like that ... "they" are gone. The problem with the "Chicks On Speed" is that they're a process. (The "speed" is not a drug, well not a chemical kind, but their rate of transformation; which can be just as addicting.) They're always in a state of becoming. They have already moved on to the next fashion, to the next tonal experiment, to the next state of being, because becoming is what they're all about. They cannot be halted because in halting, they cease to be and become something else, something different. Like us ... becoming our selves, is what we should be all about; being ourselves. regardless of what life throws in our faces. ---- "Speed Controller" by: "Afrigo Band" http://www.africancreammusic.com/web/content/view/73/27/ Feed Forward comes next, so...

Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Speed Spleen" by: "Pierre Journel" http://www.lepcc.net/ "Thesis:" Sorry but I thought of another "Phil" when I received Shauna's audio for this week :-) Its an obligatory South Park reference. ---- "The Speed Of Sound" by: "Kernel Drop" http://www.myspace.com/kerneldrop "Synthesis:" My own Dr. Phil I began creative writing when I learned how to read. One of my many aspirations as a teen was to be a writer, a novelist and/or journalist. I still may be a novelist some day but don't hold your breath. When I got to university, I took a creative writing course that wasn't part of my regular studies. I was only 17 but soon realized that I wouldn't be able to support myself as a writer. I had some minor talent but didn't have the discipline. The course that I took was led by my very own Dr. Phil. I've mentioned him before. I eventually took an English course from him as well. It's kind of funny that my favourite profs were not related to my field of study. (Another favoured English prof I had once accidently poisoned an old boyfriend with a seafood casserole, but that's a whole other post) Anyway, 24 years go by and I mention Dr. Phil in my blog. Then I sent him a note, reintroducing myself and pointing him in the direction of his mention on the blog and warning him of the soon to be stampeding crowds of papparazzi to his front door. Of course that didn't happen (the crowds, that is) but Dr. Phil and I have begun e-mail correspondence. Originally from the states, and transplanted into a very tiny rural community, I looked at him (as I did with all my profs, actually) as larger than life, with an infinite amount of wisdom, and the power to make or break me as a student. I still felt that way upon graduation, fearing the university would say to me as I got on stage to accept my degree, "You haven't learned enough. This is a mistake." Sometimes I don't feel like I'm an adult. I often joke that I'm still only 3 years old as I maintain a sense of wonder about much of the world. If I grow up completely I'm afraid I'll lose that sense of wonder. But one thing that has made me feel a little more grown up in recent months is the e-mails I've been exchanging with Dr. Phil. It turns out that Dr. Phil and I have a few things in common. We both have our own health issues to deal with and we both love biking. We are both passionate people, though about different things (and so it should be). It's one thing to grow as an individual in the presence of parents and other family members, but it seems very different to suddenly appear in someone's life again as a fully formed adult and be treated as such, not as a naive student. In an earlier post I talked about a young woman named Jessica. It is a joy to watch a young person learn and grow. Actually, anyone, no matter the age, is a joy to watch as something is learned and understood. That's what I enjoyed about tutoring adults at a local Literacy Centre, the "lightbulb" moments when something to do with geometry made sense or explaining punctuation in terms of traffic rules making it easier for my student to comprehend. It turns out that humans are the only animals that make a concerted effort to teach others. All other animals "teach" their young by instinct, or the animal's behaviour is directed by chemicals. But for some reason, humans teach and know they are teaching, and continue to teach in even the most exasperating situations. We seem to want or need to impart little bits of info to others. Apes teach other apes by accident. They don't hover over their young and offer encouragement if the baby tries to do something. We do. Apes learn by trial and error and by watching and imitating. We do that as well, but we also learn by sharing information with each other, analyzing it, and then applying it. And it occurs in all societies at all levels, whether it's me as a 5 year old teaching my brother to tie his shoelaces or my mom teaching my father how to make biscuits, or it's Dr. Phil explaining the meaning of a story by Philip Roth. Why do we like to teach other people? I suspect the answer is rather complicated, but on a very basic level has to do with teachers receiving positive reinforcement for successfully conveying an idea to a student. Yes, I'm a bit of a behaviorist. Think about it, though. A student's face lights up with understanding and it triggers a flush of warm fuzzies in the teacher. It may have taken hours, days, or weeks, but the positive reinforcement arrives in the form of the warm fuzzies. Sometimes the reinforcement is a paycheque or tenure. Even in non-traditional teaching situations, there is some form of reinforcement for the teacher. But we also seem to have an "instinct" that drives us to teach others. Whether it's a drug dealer grooming an underling to do business or a mother and her child, there's something that drives us to teach. Animals don't have that drive. They can learn but they don't teach. But as much as I enjoyed my volunteer tutoring, I enjoy learning even more. I crave knowledge about a host of topics and I can get lost for hours on the net going from one subject to another. My learning is life long and non stop and I maintain a sense of wonder about the world around me. I suspect that my Dr. Phil feels the same way. ---- "Meeting The Future At Full Speed" by: "Karen Kosowski" http://www.karenkosowski.com/ "Conclusion:" Yes Shauna, life is an education. We learn until we die. Sometimes we learn how to die ... well. With meaning. With dignity. With purpose. With some sense of having accomplished something which might out live us. And you just "know" why I'm doing this podcast and not giving up, on me. on you, on us all.

I am appalled, appalled at the level of ignorance and the level of fear about MS out there; as much in the general population as, and this is unforgivable, in the medical community. What should be a very minor disease, a "no biggie" disease, on the level with leprosy, controllable with a simple therapy, anti-viral in the case of leprosy, immuno-suppresant in the case of MS, is blown up to all kinds of levels, demonized and 'buggabooed" into some great unfathomable threat because of perceived mystery. Believe me, I feel for your daughter. She submitted to back surgery, back surgery, twice, at the hands of some quack, some ignorant imbecile, some orthopedic butcher, partly because she couldn't face the diagnosis from the neurologists. I don't know which is more to blame, the neurologists who scared the crap out of her, the orthopedic surgeon who was just making things worse (and I am sure pocketed the money, but who doesn't have to live with the results,) or herself whos' stuck with the compounding effect. This should be a nothing diagnosis, a non-event of a disease.

It was near, like walking distance near, to where my father worked for the Seagram's distillery. It was not that bad as far as childhoods go. Then my dad changed jobs, started to work selling drugs (sorry, pharmaceuticals,) for "Merck, Sharpe and Dohme", and moved us all out to "Valleyfield" aka "Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec," which was really way the hell out there out there, in the depth of suburbia. (I still remember the address that I had to memorise out there "193 Cossette". It sorta sucked 'cause it was really farm land and had a huge field acrosss the street and a huge "Bell Northern" plant out there. [I just Googled it and its now been paved over and filled with track style housing. {I'm actually of two minds about that. (Yeah it sucked but the field was actually nice and grew some great little wild strawberries. [Nope, you "can't" go home again.])}]) I am "older" than the crap we now wade through back and forth between house, work and the malls. Okay, it was in Québec, which was a branch plant economy of Canada's branch plant economy and was getting develloped third-hand by the "powers that be." But it still predates the mauling of America. I was not living in ranch-style type tract housing until we'd been to the hinterlands if Valleyfield, come back to Ville Lasalle and lived there a while in various rental housing accomodations. (I still remember the pink "Princess" phone that my father, who must have been feeling paticularly flush at the time, got installed in our secods floor appartment by Bell. [This was back before you had "any" choice. "CNCP Telecommunications" was for businesses and Telex and stuff like that.]) ---- "Soul Travelling" by: "Stingray" http://www.stingrayonline.com/ "Synthesis:" So why am I traveling this way down memory lane; burning precious brain cells, and cheap podcast time, to bring you along?

Don't tell me that any kids growing up in the desolate 'burbs weren't rebellious. We were the definition of rebellion. As "Grace Slick" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Slick ] put it so eloquently "We have become the people our parents warned us about." Were we struck by the same wanderlust that afflicted the British at the height of the English Romantic period, as exemplified by Percy Bysshe Shelley [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percy_Bysshe_Shelley ]. Back before the beginning of the "Age of Steam" [ http://www.railcentre.co.uk/ ] and the pseudo-democratization by Americans of the "Grand Tour" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Tour ] which rose to prominence at the end of the second world war. I remember being at some English hotel, in "Rye" I think [ http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&q=Mermaid+inn&near=Rye,+East+Sussex,+UK&fb=1&cid=0,0,11417480990147446513&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image ], listening to some well heeled Americans advising their daughter about what she should do with her trust funds ("Muffy, darling, you can do what ever you want, so long as you don't touch the capital,") when we were interrupted but the loud banging of some unseen critter on the other side of the wall declaiming loudly in some flat mid-western accent that he wondered "Why they couldn't put the paneling in straight!" (When it had clearly been put in straight ... three hundred years ago ... when the wall was "new.") Coming from Québec as I did, I "grokked" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok ] the pain on both sides of the paneling. I am forever destined to be a "Stranger In A Strange Land" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stranger_In_A_Strange_Land ]. ---- "dream traveler" by: "kcsaito" http://homepage.mac.com/kcsaito1963/PhotoAlbum8.html "Conclusion:" Yes, I grew up in a suburb on the island of Montréal called Ville Lasalle.

But its is at the root of my restlessness; that which drove me, (heck, with cheap oil, I could even afford to drive myself,) to see parts of the world that my ancestors couldn't even ever dream of, but are now only an internet connection away. You don't have to go there to get there. We now have riches that people in the past couldn't imagine.

Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- J'ai un rapide et facile, sans peine et aussi pas si fouinard que ça formulaire d'enquête que j'ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment besoin que vous alliez remplir. Vous pouvez aller à ma page "podcast" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], cliquer sur le bouton du côté gauche de la page et répondre anonymement à quelques questions simples.

Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel.

The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out.

I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... The MSIF (Multiple Sclerosis International Federation) is working with the World Health Organization (WHO) to promote the publication of a world-wide "Atlas of MS." [ http://www.msif.org/en/news/msif_news/atlas_of_ms_publ.html ]. As you know if you've gone to the "site" [ http://www.MSBPodcast.com ] I have a map of the world with dots representing the cities where my listeners come from. Its unfortunate but I have listeners all over the planet. MS is a world-wide phenomenon. I am glad to say that the Atlas will focus on the availability of treatments as well as on the geographic distribution of the disease. ---- "Being There" by: "Blake Ian" http://www.blakeian.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so...

(A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay.

Being there is essential for somethings, and irrelevant for others. ---- "Rather Stay Alone" by: "Geordie Keitt" http://producer.geordiekeitt.com/ "Synthesis:" For people like me who are mobility challenged by MS the rise of the use of tele-presence is the world of work is a wonderful thing and its increased acceptance, and co-evolving lower cost alternatives to "being here", is a blessing that I can't tell you enough about. Once again, I'm ahead of the curve on this one, having most recently worked form an off-shore out-sourcing firm. They handled things with the less satisfactory medium of the conference call but it was still adequate for the purposes of providing status updates (Though the use of Twitter would have been more immediate, rapid and concise.) Where I first encountered a telepresence room however was at a branch of a multi-national company located in Kansas City which had some constant interaction with and in the rest of the United States. The project I was on was associated with others within the company, would have necessitated hundred of thousands of dollars of travel expenses and that would have slowed the pace of work, bogging everybody down in a mire of customs, with some workers, airports, traffic and conflicting schedules. (Not to mention that while they were on-site, they weren't being "productive"; they were being "expensive," [there's "no" R.O.I.]) The use of tele-presence rooms was a great thing and the extension of the group through their use in other branches allowed us all to reach some goals much more quickly, and, as Ben Franklin said, "Time is money" [ http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/b/q101411.html ]. At the time it was enough money that it was worth several hundred thousand dollars a room to equip several locations with telepresence hardware and to pay for the communication costs. (This was "before" the internet, and all of that bandwidth, became a cheap, ubiquitous presence in all of our lives.) ---- "Ironbound" by: "katiesawicki" http://www.katiesawicki.com/ "Conclusion:" The reason I'm so glad that telepresence is becoming more widely accepted is that it more sharply focuses the costs and importance of "Being There" [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/ ] and of "not" being there. By dint of having this damn disease, there are lots of times when having to go there means a lot of fuss, unnessary work and botheration. The capacity of not having to actually be there to, uh, be there, is wonderful. That said, there "are" things where you actual presence is required. What we do there, well I don't wanna "go there", so there... :-) ---- "Restless" by: "Campbells Transfer Company" http://pressroom.btpodshow.com/music/?artist_id=4916 Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list: "Being There" by: "Blake Ian" http://www.blakeian.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Sugarite" by: "Abra Moore" http://www.abramoore.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Glue" by: "Cantaloop" http://www.cantaloop.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Rather Stay Alone" by: "Geordie Keitt" http://producer.geordiekeitt.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Ironbound" by: "katiesawicki" http://www.katiesawicki.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Restless" by: "Campbells Transfer Company" http://pressroom.btpodshow.com/music/?artist_id=4916 album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: Just go to the Book Recomendation wiki page at http://msbpodcast.pbwiki.com/BookRecommendations ---- Links: Guy David - intro & theme http://www.guydavid.com iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ iPodder http://www.ipodder.org/directory/4/ipodderSoftware A.K.A.

Dang but she's an interesting person. ---- "Bees and Flowers" by: "Duane Andrews" http://www.duaneandrews.ca/ "Synthesis:" Bee Ware I have written before about things being connected. I am always looking for and/or finding connections between seemingly unrelated things. I did it again. As you're probably aware, I like bugs. The social insects I find particularly interesting. Bees are one such creature. They do what's best for the hive, defending it from intruders, and if they're sick, they leave the hive so as not to spread disease. Bees have been in the news recently because of "Colony Collapse Disorder", whereby complete colonies of bees simply cease to exist. According to a recent PBS documentary, if something isn't done to alleviate the problem, by the year 2035 we may have to pollinate our own plants. There's a city in China, dependent on the pear crop, already doing that; it's a painstaking, long process to collect the pollen, dry it out, then individually pollinate every pear blossom to produce fruit. Of course there are a number of agencies world wide looking into this CCD because results could mean a disaster on the world wide level. So what is making the bees disappear? Undoubtedly there are environmental factors, like global warming or wetter weather making life difficult for the bee. (A drenched bee is one of life's most pathetic creatures-it cannot fly until it dries off and is therefore vulnerable to any predator. That's the best time to pet one though, as they sit and wait.) There are parasites that can cause problems for the bees, though on their own, the parasites don't seem to cause the wide scale bee loss that is being observed. There is also a fungus that bees get that seems to be contributing to the loss. Some speculate that the mobile bee keepers who move their hives from field to field may be contributing to CCD, the bees gaining increased exposure to bees from other hives and with other parasites or diseases. Or that the movement is exposing more and more colonies to different pesticides and poisons. But the most interesting (to me) possible cause of CCD is Israel Acute Paralysis Virus. It has been found in a great number of tested CCD colonies and while causation has not been proven, there appears to be a link. In IAPV, the bee becomes sick, then paralyzed. Nature doesn't cope well when its creatures can't move, therefore they die. En mass. The virus can be transmitted by mites, those pesky little parasites. It would be akin to us getting Lyme disease from a tick. One of the terms used in the PBS show I watched was "perfect storm". Heard that before. A perfect storm of events transpire to kill off the bees. Immune suppression because of parasite infestation, exposure to less than ideal circumstances in the environment, and onset of a virus. On their own, each circumstance is survivable and uneventful, but put all three together and you get the perfect storm resulting in CCD. MS is much like CCD. We have a certain genetic makeup that makes our immune system go a little haywire, add to that less than ideal environment (perhaps not enough vitamin D), and exposure to a childhood illness, and bingo! MS. Each of those circumstances on their own probably don't cause MS, but put 'em together and you've got it. I couldn't help but think of the connection between both these illnesses while watching the documentary. As we discover more and more about how our systems work with, and sometimes against, each other, we understand biology a little better. I just wish the discoveries came a little faster. S. ---- "Stickybee - INSTRUMENTAL" by: "Josh Woodward" http://www.joshwoodward.com/ "Conclusion:" I'd add that it might be the immunity conveyed by somebody actually getting a childhood disease in childhood, like they're "supposed" to (instead of having a bacteriologist father who insisted that everything had to go on a "red hot" oven before it was allowed to go near the children,) or somebody actually getting disease which are nothing for a child to survive, but play merry Hell with adults. ("Measles anyone?") I spent my infancy smothered in anticeptic, then I became very sickly as a child. Maybe I wouldn't have been so sickly as a teenager, (my first undiagnosed attack was at 15,) never mind as an adult, if dad hadn't been so "gung ho" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gung-ho ] to shield me as an infant. I think that that is one of the worst things about this disease.

Sun, 27 July 2008 msb-fr-0022 Rire JauneNon, Je N'ai Rien Oublié - Charles Aznavour .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- J'ai un rapide et facile, sans peine et aussi pas si fouinard que ça formulaire d'enquête que j'ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment besoin que vous alliez remplir. Vous pouvez aller à ma page "podcast" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], cliquer sur le bouton du côté gauche de la page et répondre anonymement à quelques questions simples. J'en ai vraiment besoin. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Je suis confus. (Ce ne m'arrive pas trop souvent.) Mais aujourd'hui j'ai des problèmes a rester sur pointe. Et vous verrez pourqois j'ai choisi cette chanson pour accompagner cette épisode. ---- "Shit Out Of Luck" par: "Straightfork" http://www.myspace.com/straightfork À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "you dont mean shit to me" par: "sugar shack" http://www.estrus.com/interviews/shack.html À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé...

En plus des aspects physique, (la spasticitée, le manque de contrôle, [mais je me répète,] les sensations phantôme or simplement absentes,) la sclérose en plaques a des effects secondaires sur notre apareilage intellectuel. Il m'est déja arrivé d'ètre completement incapable de prendre une décision, aussi mineure soit elle. Notre méchanisme de décision est délicat, étant situé dans le cortex cingulate antérieur et dans le cervelet. J'ai malheuresement des lésions dans cette région de ma cervelle, qui rende les chose plutôt difficiles parfois. (Ces regions sont moin nécessaires a la vie quotidienne que l'on le penserai. Les préjugés sont véritable et véritablement necessaire a la vie. On ne prend pas des décisions a chaque minute de la journée. En fait, cette région se fatigue. Si on pousse trop fort on devien quasiment un imbécile en attendant que notre region du cortex cingulate antérieur refaisse ses forces.) Heuresement je crois en la méthode scientifique, ce qui me donne un espèce de "Razoir d'Ockham" [ http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasoir_d%27Occam ] qui m'aide a prendre toutes ces décision sans me travailler trop les méninges. Mais, c'est toujours "unsettling", inquiétant, quand c'a arrive. ---- "When I Get My Shit Together" par: "Noam Weinstein" http://enoam.com/ "Conclusion:" Il y a certain jours ou tout file bien. (La majeure partie, soyon honnête.) Il a d'autre jours ou c'a devient fascinant de passer quelques heures en introspection, étant en mème temps l'observateur et l'object d'observation.

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "young knives" by: "The Trouble with Me" http://www.myspace.com/thetroublewithmeuk "Thesis:" Speaking of "handling the truth, Col. Jessep" ... I am still reeling, lurching drunkedly, (hey, I got MS, I know from reeling and lurching drunkedly, [without the benefit of any libation first,]) from the "pesto" I made yesterday (as I write this.) Its summertime; the basil is growing like fragrant weeds on the farms 'round here; the markets smell mouth wateringly delicious; and I have "got" to get me a "Demiluna" knife because chopping all that basil by hand with a cleaver is a "major" hazard. ---- "Your Beauty is a Knife I Turn on my Throat" by: "Eagle Seagull" http://www.eagleseagull.com/ "Synthesis:" Mankind has been playing with sharp things ever since some idiot cave-person, say "Ogg", threw a torn tree limb at some other idiot cave-person, say "Oog"'s, missed, it stuck into the ground, and they invented the earliest form of "mumbledepeg." Apart from the accidental stabbings, jabbings and occasional crude amputations, disembowelments and decapitations, we've had a love affair with sharp things ever since. (We're freakin' idiotsw, I know.:-) A good knife, is a "sharp" knife. I suspect that most kitchen accidents not involving fire occur around a blade that is no longer sharp. Sharpening knives used to be done by itinerant tradesmen who went around the town hauling their sharpening wheel and honing stones; drizzling their mineral oils over them as they put blade to stone, to turn a dull edge back into a razor. Its a skill now lost to the people who go around with a stainless steel blade and think that "that"'s sharp. By definition, it isn't sharp the time you use it. The stainless process coats the steel with layers of oxides that might help keep blade from tarnishing, but those very oxides make it impossible for a blade to stay sharp because they "fatten" the profile of the blade. What's called "cutting" is really "fine hacking". Most kitchen accidents involving blades happen when the hack just can't, uh, hack it. (I'm an ex-IT guy and believe me I know all "kinds" of hacking.) When knives have to be forced, they slip and go somewhere they have no business, like a finger. A "sharp" knife is made of high carbon steel or ceramics. A "sharp" knife is one that interjects its blade in between the fibers of whatever you are cutting. There is no "hacking." Cutting is an almost effortless process. (Incidentally, cutting yourself with a sharp blade doesn't hurt anywhere as much as with a dull blade and the skin is quite ready to fuse itself back together. Band-Aids or sutures are for the mechanics of keeping the elements stable while the skin's own repair mechanism can handle the re-knitting. An injury with a dull blade causes the growth of "scar tissue" [and believe me, I have quite enough "sclera" to deal with already.]) The itinerant peddlers have gone so the responsibility now falls on the knife owner to keep his blades sharp. That's why they sell all those "Ginsu" knives. "Never Needs Sharpening" is a promise that's easy to keep. "But will it stay sharp?" is a question that's easy to answer too. Just look at the emergency room admission statistics for your town. ---- "we throw parties, you throw knives" by: "los campesinos" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ "Conclusion:" I'm going shopping for some cutlery, 'cause I'm putting my food at risk, never mind my fingers, by using inadequate implements.

Cats Perspective/Planxty Hewlett" by: "-MARC GUNN - Irish Scottish Folk Songs" http://www.marcgunn.com/ "Thesis:" Shauna delves into ethnographics, geo-politics, and poses a surprising question at the end. Well, "I" was surprised. :-) ---- "Scott Bakula" by: "Sunspot" http://www.sunspotmusic.com/ "Synthesis:" Scotland, Nova Scotia and MS As Canadians and Nova Scotians, we celebrate our heritage and our culture and our ties to the "old country". Food, music, dance, and literature are common things we share. Who in Nova Scotia hasn't heard of Robbie Burns or danced to a Scottish reel? The other thing we share is Multiple Sclerosis.
55,000 - 75,000 people in Canada have Multiple Sclerosis. In Atlantic Canada alone, we have 5,000 - one of the highest rates in the country. The MS Society in Scotland estimates 10,500 people have MS in Scotland. Based on recent population statistics, the two countries are almost equal in incidence of MS.
One of the big questions is why? Well, the geographical incidence of MS increases the further away from the equator you get. For example, Mexico has a population of 90 million, 15,000 of whom have MS. We have one third the population, but more than three times the incidence of MS. Canada and Scotland are quite far away from Mexico, yet, per capita, have a much higher incidence of MS. Where did people from Scotland and other northern European areas settle when they left their home country? Many came to Canada. Early on they settled in Nova Scotia and branched out from there. The ethnocultural portrait of Canada's provinces and territories reflects both the historical and current settlement patterns of the different waves of immigration to the country. After Canadian, the other most frequently reported origins in 2006, either alone or with other origins, were English, French, Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, Chinese, North American Indian and Ukrainian. The list of ethnic origins in 2006 includes cultural groups associated with Canada's Aboriginal people (North American Indian, Métis and Inuit) and the European groups that first settled in Canada, such as the English, French Scottish and Irish. The largest group enumerated by the census consisted of just over 10 million people who reported Canadian as their ethnic ancestry, either alone (5.7 million) or with other origins (4.3 million). The other most frequently cited origins were English (6.6 million), French (4.9 million), Scottish (4.7 million), Irish (4.4 million), German (3.2 million), Italian (1.4 million), Chinese (1.3 million), North American Indian (1.3 million), Ukrainian (1.2 million) and Dutch (1.0 million). (Text is taken from the Statistics Canada Web site) Our shared heritage hints at a genetic reason for MS. That may be part of it. Aside from sharing a similar geography in distance from the equator, we share a lack of sunshine year round strong enough to enable our bodies to produce vitamin D. Recent studies have implicated this vitamin in MS. BBC Scotland was recently in Halifax filming interviews with people of Scottish heritage and who also have MS for a future story about the connections between Scotland, Nova Scotia and MS. As well, the MS Society in Scotland is starting to jump on the genetics bandwagon in developing a national database of people with MS, something Canada has been working on for several years. A recent poll has shown that one out of two Canadians knows someone with MS. How many do you know? S. ---- "The Moonshiner" by: "MARC GUNN - Irish Scottish Folk Songs" http://www.marcgunn.com/ "Conclusion:" Actually, I thought about that last question. Before I got it, I didn't know "anybody" with it. After that, I didn't know, a lot, of people with it. (After a while, I had moved on, and knew nobody again.) I have only met "one" other person in the states from the general population with MS. Even at that, the New Jersey Chapter of the National MS Society's MS Self Help Group is kind of small.

It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... "This" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/18/business/18econ.html?ref=business ] article in the "New York Times" points out that people can't see what's going on with the housing market. They're looking in the wrong direction... Its not in front of them but behind them, as the calendar goes. ---- "Songs from The Bilston House" by: "Manning" http://www.myspace.com/guymanning Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Square With The House" by: "The Soupbone Throne" http://www.myspace.com/thesoupbonethrone Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Ghost In My House" by: "Mean Gene Kelton and The Die Hards" http://www.genekelton.com/ "Thesis:" Something has struck me as this housing crisis becomes, uh, a crisis. The term "real estate" is being shown up for the fiction that it is. It is not, and never was, "real". Some of you might have parents who were born "pre-Boomer" and some of those might me able to tell you what it was like "pre-W.W.II". Yup, listen to your 'rents and gran-'rents. But really "listen". Listen for what you need to hear... ---- "Slaughterhouse Blues" by: "Maria Daines" http://www.maria-daines.com/ "Synthesis:" The real estate crisis is a crisis of imagination and self-esteem. Its born of ignorance and steeped in refined oil. The cause of the crisis is the lack of predictive ability to see what could/should/would happen when it all went "pear shaped" and you were stuck somewhere you "didn't" wanna be.. If you live in the 'burbs, make that, if you live more than a thirty minute private commute between where you sleep and where you live/work/play/meet 'n greet, you're just waking up to a new reality. Now that you're looking at your house more like a millstone than a touch stone, every body else is too. Ergo, your desirable house is not so desirable anymore and lack of desirability means plunging prices. There is no "real" in real-estate. It all boils down to "comparative advantage" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage ] or, more to the point, comparative "dis"-advantage. Our house valuations are subject to enormous changes. (Witness the simultaneous "Fanny May" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_may ] and "Freddie Mac" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Home_Loan_Mortgage_Corporation ] debacles.) One of the things that affects those changes is transportation (In the United States the "Department of Transportation" [ http://www.dot.gov/ { hey, I just noticed the site is called dub, dub, dub, dot, dot, dot, guv. :-}] has annual budget US$58Billion. Okay, its still only about one ninth of the estimated US$490+Billion Defense "budget", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States ] but our bridges "are" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Mississippi_River_bridge ] crumbling) And instability but, trending inexorably onward and upward, in the "cost" of transportation is putting the structure of the "American Way Of Life" under severly distorting stress and strain. Now its not so bad if you live somewhere in the Boston to Washington DC "North East Corridor", the West Coast pockets of Seattle and Greater L.A. but if you don't live in the two narrow areas, you're home values are about to "take it in the shorts". Remember what the AmerIndians said about the value of land: "You don't own the land, it own you." Not having vested interests in real-estate, they meant it in a nice holistic way. But as you watch your supposed equity vanish in the current and deepening shift, you'll find out that the statement also can have a nasty side. ---- "The House Is Burnin" by: "Calvin Owens" http://topcatrecords.com/ "Conclusion:" We have a great deal to listen to if we can just shut up long enough to hear it. This has all happened before; but not to people who lived centuries ago and/or who you couldn't possibly have met. Sit down and talk to your 'rents or grand-'rents about "what" went down and "how" it went down. They survived pre-oil boom. Now you have to learn how they managed it. Since you'll be using the latest in technology so you don't have to fight the energy wars, and rape the planet to the extent that they did. And that's a good thing because there isn't enough affordable oil left. ---- "House of Cards" by: "Citizens Of Contrary Knowledge" http://www.arielpublicity.net/clients/2437 Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Songs from The Bilston House" by: "Manning" http://www.myspace.com/guymanning album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Square With The House" by: "The Soupbone Throne" http://www.myspace.com/thesoupbonethrone album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Ghost In My House" by: "Mean Gene Kelton and The Die Hards" http://www.genekelton.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Slaughterhouse Blues" by: "Maria Daines" http://www.maria-daines.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "The House Is Burnin" by: "Calvin Owens" http://topcatrecords.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "House of Cards" by: "Citizens Of Contrary Knowledge" http://www.arielpublicity.net/clients/2437 album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Sun, 20 July 2008 msb-fr-0021 J'ai Le Fou RireBob l'éponge - SpongeBob "J'ai le fou-rire!" .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- J'ai un rapide et facile, sans peine et aussi pas si fouinard que ça formulaire d'enquête que j'ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment besoin que vous alliez remplir. Vous pouvez aller à ma page "podcast" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], cliquer sur le bouton du côté gauche de la page et répondre anonymement à quelques questions simples. J'en ai vraiment besoin. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Bienvenue au nouveau site de MSBPodcast. J'espère que vous serez patient pendant que je mais la maison en ordre. ---- "She Laughs and Sighs" par: "Al Phlipp and The Woo Team" http://www.kevinwillis.net/wooteam/albums.php À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Only Laughing" par: "Gareth Christian" http://garethchristian.com/ À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé... Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Laughing Man" par: "Emmett" no link, no picture "Thèse:" J'espère que vous n'etes pas trop désorienté par la nouvelle apparence du site. Mais c'était indispensable au futur de ce podcast. ---- "Die Laughing" par: "Shawna Caspi" http://www.shawnacaspi.com/ "Synthèse:" Le wiki qui s'ouvre quant vous venez maintenant a MSBPodcast n'est que la dernière evolution du podcast. Il m'a été necessaire de le faire parceque la majeure partie du monde n'est pas rendu la encore. Il m'est necessaire de donner au publicitaires quel que chose qu'il connaissent et peuvent reconnaitre sur le web. Donc, je leur offre l'opportunitée de supporter le podcast en entier ou par l'episode sur des pages du wiki, en plus d'offrir de faire de la publicité au CPM et a la piece. ---- "Laughing Lenn" par: "Veda Park" http://www.myspace.com/vedapark "Conclusion:" L'apparance de podcast change et évolue. C'est pratiquement inevitable. C'est boucoup d'ouvrage mais c'est amusant aussi; ce qui me donne le fou rire. ---- "Last Laugh" par: "PAPERMOON" http://www.papermoon.org/ Outro Désolé mais la loi DADVSI (« droit d'auteur et droits voisins dans la société de l'information ») me défend de vous faire parvenir de la musique Francaise. Le situation pourrait changer mais, jusqu'a ce jour, je suis forcé d'utiliser les chansons provenantes du PMN (Podsafe Music Network.) ---- Theme et musique 'incidentelle" provient de: "msb_theme", par: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Liste des chansons: "She Laughs and Sighs" par: "Al Phlipp and The Woo Team" http://www.kevinwillis.net/wooteam/albums.php album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Only Laughing" par: "Gareth Christian" http://garethchristian.com/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Laughing Man" par: "Emmett", no link album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Die Laughing" par: "Shawna Caspi" http://www.shawnacaspi.com/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Laughing Lenn" par: "Veda Park" http://www.myspace.com/vedapark album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Last Laugh" par: "PAPERMOON" http://www.papermoon.org/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ ---- Crédits Photo: Toutes les images, synchronizées avec les chansons, sont des artistes at proviennes de music.podshow.com excepté quand elle ne le sont pas. :-) ---- Livres:"Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" par "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" par "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" par "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" par "Jeffrey M.

I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... I will be changing this website in order to deal with the reality that most of my visitors are coming to my podcasts from the wider web. Therefore I am shifting things around, creating a new Wiki site which will become the "forward facing page" for the podcast and any and all advertising I manage to find. ---- I just Skyped in and was on a guest segment on LifeZero [ http://lifezero.typepad.com/ ] after getting as invitation from John Flowers. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thanks John. ---- "Wicked Karma" by: "Ronnie" http://www.ronnierecords.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment.

Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Wicked Man" by: "Forgery" http://www.forgerymusic.com/ "Thesis:" The new site will have "most" of the old episodes, each on its own wiki page, with a calendar index pointing to every episode and in a long list. That should help you having to scroll so much over the boring bits. Because of some efficiencies that I can realize by using a wiki, the pages will be shorter but will point to the other things that they should. I'll resurrect most of the of episodes, instead of trimming them down. There'll also be some sections that are usable by anybody who needs them. ---- "Wicked Come Winter" by: "Matt Mays & El Torpedo" http://mattmays.com/ "Synthesis:" I am launching the new MSBPodcast site on top of the old msb.libsyn.com site. The wiki is meant to be more than a podcast ever could be. Apart from keeping up everything the podcast currently has, the wiki will feature extras discussed below. For the podcasts: * The YouTube videos will all work. * The text will be shorter because I can keep the "boiler plate" segments on their own pages and just provide links to them. * The bands songs titles, pictures and websites will be "hot linked" * The audio will work of course (but work better if you have QuickTime installed and will work best if you have iTunes installed.) For advertisers: * they'll still be able to do the podcast ads I've been on about for a while now, * they'll still be able to do straight CPM ads in audio, * they'll now be able to do show sponsorship on the wiki site, * they'll now be able to do "episode" sponsorship on the wiki site. Other things I want to bring to the New Jersey MS Self-Help Group, they'll be able to use: * Google Maps for the locations of their meetings. * Google Calendars for the timing of their events. * Images/pictures of their events. * YouTube for recordings of their events. I am also going to make this available to anyone else with the same needs. ---- "Wicked" by: "Mudville" http://www.mudvillemusic.com/ "Conclusion:" Nothing will change for you the audience but because 85% of you come by the web instead on via iTunes, I am about to make that experience more enjoyable and cohesive for you all. ---- "Wicked" by" Jupiter Rising" http://www.jupiterrisingmusic.net/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Wicked Karma" by: "Ronnie" http://www.ronnierecords.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Wicked Eyed Mule" by: "Maria Daines" http://www.maria-daines.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Wicked Man" by: "Forgery" http://www.forgerymusic.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Wicked Come Winter" by: "Matt Mays & El Torpedo" http://mattmays.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Wicked" by: "Mudville" http://www.mudvillemusic.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Wicked" by: "Jupiter Rising" http://www.jupiterrisingmusic.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

They look upon 'em with, uh, recreational aspirations. (I must be Martian. I was a musician for years and I never really partook. [I've only got one word for people who sit around gigling inanely and never finishing a sentence: B-O-R-I-N-G!]) ---- "Love, Drugs, & Bombs" by: "O Sweet Static" http://www.myspace.com/osweetstatic "Synthesis:" This is my Brain on Drugs I was speaking with someone the other day who first met me when I was MC-ing the local ALS Walk. ALS is easily one of the most cruel illnesses, and I happily lend my skills to fundraising for this cause. My friend and I were comparing ALS and MS. In the majority of cases ALS is a death sentence within a few years whereas MS is rarely fatal. ALS is continuously and quickly progressive from Day 1 whereas MS is much slower. MS is uncertain, a characteristic about which we MSers like to complain. We don't know what each day will bring. You know what? I realized that this characteristic is something I should celebrate. I may not know what's going to happen, but it just might be great. And I know I have many tomorrows left. We humans like to be in control. Diseases like ALS and MS can quickly remove that control but we still try to assert some control. I do that by taking Avonex once a week. In my butt. The boyfriend sticks me with that needle after I take some Tylenol to battle the side effects. 4 hours later, around bedtime, I take more Tylenol, the 8 hour stuff, so I can sleep through the night. Usually the next morning, another dose and I'm set for another week. I've been on the stuff for 8 years now and so far so good. I've had one minor relapse. Is it all because of the Avonex? No idea. I'm sure it has something to do with it, but as one of my neuros is quick to tell me, attitude is pretty important, too. So as much as I, like the rest of humanity, don't like change, I will celebrate my ever changing disease and do what I can do to make a difference. S. ---- "The Music Or The Drugs" by: "The Black Arts" http://www.myspace.com/wearetheblackarts "Conclusion:" But rather than griping, I too am celebrating the fact that in my case at least, MS has offered me as much as it has taken away. (Okay I'm lyin', but I tell myself that there's no pain, my senses seems to be intact, and apart from the fact that I don't go out when its hot, because I'm likely to be a swetty spot on the sidewalk, I can still get around, albeit much more slowly than I like. [And the money will take care of itself. {Okay, I'm lyin' again. It won't.

Mon, 14 July 2008 msb-0326 Fundamental ChangesPink Floyd - Money .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... Only an idiot repeats the same actions expecting different results. I am many things but I am not an idiot. :-) I will be making changes to my web site because of what you people are "actually doing there" not because of what I "thought" you should be doing there. The podcast itself is fine and attracting a fine audience given the demographic constraints (MSers have none so I can't claim to attract "single males between 18 and 34 who are into electronic gadgets and beer" (the "low hanging fruit" that Wizzard Media is currently after.) I just need to grow the audience by a few orders of magnitude. [sigh] I'm always of two minds about that. Yes, its definitely a reachable goal and I cheer myself up by telling myself that I don't need a single newly diagnosed person to "grow the audience". ---- "Money" by: "the undisputed heavyweights" http://betterthanelvis.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Money" by: "AbaNDa SHAKE" http://www.myspace.com/abandashake Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Money" by: "Tems" http://www.tems.org.uk/ "Thesis:" As I said last Friday, I have had a meeting with the sales person at "Wizzard Media". It was an great lunch, a productive session and I will drag them kicking and screaming into the twenty first century. (Blog rolls are so nineten-ninety-nine.) ---- "Money" by: "The RedLine" http://www.theredlinerocks.com/ "Synthesis:" Analisys of my stats have revealed that the vast majority of you are coming to the web site from a variety of means and "staying there" for the music. For all I know, you're utterly ignoring what I have to say but you're playing the music. Given the current diference between the number of "seekers" and the number of downloaders, a lot of you are grazing all over the place (which screws with my CPM estimates for individual advertising campaigns unless [you just knew there was an unless {didn't'cha?}] I get rid of the current blog rolling user interface. Instead I plan to use a wiki to give you all the access you want, however you want it, but it will also let me take advantage of the fact that you're "staying put" because of the tunes. (Some of you are using this show as an internet radio and playing it all day long instead of a regular radio while you surf, probably or possibly while you work.) On average, one visitor plays 10 shows, that works out to five hours per daily visit. (Of course some of you don't and the visit is over within minutes.) Nothing has to change on the podcast. Its still going to be six tunes chosen around the "theme du jour" and me blathering on in between the tunes. It would be nice if I could run an ad in there, but frankly I doubt it because the meeting was about what the current clients of "Wizzard Media" are currently asking for (which is screen real-estate in banner ads,) and which doesnt do a thing for podcasting but will make my idea of using a wiki a lot more attractive to advertisers and ad agencies. These people are way, way, way behind on the curve on this. Gawd people. Its on-demand audio over the internet. How difficult can that be to understand? Jeez... It can have images. It can have hot-links so click-through advertising can work too. And we should stay out of each other's faces while we do business... ---- "money" by: "peter, bjorn and john" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ "Conclusion:" Only a fool struggles with reality and my mother didn't raise a fool. My business model for CPM just doesn't work worth crap. There just aren't enough of you coming to my site for it to work. I'd need "thousands" of MSers coming by everyday and that's just too depressing to contemplate. That's why I'm offering to make the connection between the parties without needing to make all that annoying and ultimately counter productive noise (And "noise" is "anything" you "don't" wana hear.) ---- "Money" by: "Theory in Motion" http://www.myspace.com/theoryinmotion Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Money" by: "the undisputed heavyweights" http://betterthanelvis.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Money" by: "AbaNDa SHAKE" http://www.myspace.com/abandashake album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Money" by: "Tems" http://www.tems.org.uk/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Money" by: "The RedLine" http://www.theredlinerocks.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "money" by: "peter, bjorn and john" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Money" by: "Theory in Motion" http://www.myspace.com/theoryinmotion album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Sun, 13 July 2008 msb-fr-0020 Changements FondamentauxMatt Harding Dance .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- J'ai un rapide et facile, sans peine et aussi pas si fouinard que ça formulaire d'enquête que j'ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment besoin que vous alliez remplir. Vous pouvez aller à ma page "podcast" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], cliquer sur le bouton du côté gauche de la page et répondre anonymement à quelques questions simples. J'en ai vraiment besoin. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme...

Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Shaky Ground" par: "Mutlu" http://www.mutlusounds.com/ À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé...

J'ai beaucoup moin de visiteurs au site que de téléchargements donc vous venez et vous "y restez!" Je suis certain qu'une bonne part de vous vous servez du podcast comme une radio sur internet parce que je présente beaucoup de musique et vous pouvez juste ignorer le reste. Ceci explique bien des chôses. Je fais à la main le nouveau site pour vous donner le choix de votre methode preferrée de téléchagez des épisodes. (La superioritée d'iTunes et l'utilization de RSS pour demeurer courrant n'est pas une consideration pour plus que trois quart de vous.) Vous allez continuer a me coûter a chaque téléchargement et c'est tout ce qu'il y a à ca. Reste a determiner si vous vous servez du "player" ou si vous avez QuickTime installé sur votre ordinateur et pouvez voir les portrais des artistes et pouvez faire appel aux "links" durant une chanson ou durant une de mes pauses. ---- "One More Song" par: "Parachute Musical" http://www.parachutemusical.com/ "Conclusion:" La définition de "stupide" est la repetition d'une action en restant surpris a la repetition des meme résultats.

Fri, 11 July 2008 msb-0325 Eve and Wall•E ™®©Solazyme Unveils Renewable Biodiesel Derived from Algue .. Lucy, Lucy, Lucy .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... Hallelujah. What I have been saying for "years." The ways of interconnecting the end components are more important than the components themselves. Okay, I've said that about computers, not brains, but the principles still apply. "This" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/01/health/research/01brain.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&ref=science&adxnnlx=1214926805-g8pr7Hay4kohWXVDn/1qfQ ] article in the New York Times shows that in spades. I can relate in that my MS "brain lesions," (those unfortunate enough to have looked at their own MRIs have seen those "white spots" [or in my case those wide, "white swaths" at the center of my brain,]) below my cortical "homuncular" representations are what are making it hard for me to walk. Its not that there is any problem with the controlling structure in the cortex (my "homunculi" are fine,) or with the muscular structure at the the other, destination end of the nerves. My problems lie somewhere in the middle... This is yet another 'problem' that human ingenuity would be only floundering about making at best "uninformed wild-ass stabs' in the dark". But having MRI scans, which are by definition computer manipulatable, gives us the possibility of creating "educated quesses." Now the first video is how to get oil in out tanks "without" having to rape anyone's dinner plate, while the second video is means to explain a remark later on. :-) ---- I just had a meeting with Wizzard Media concerning monetization. Sorry, I've tried to hold the line taught as far as trying to recruit only from makers and providers of stuff for MS but nobody else is picking up the other end of the rope. Don't be surprised if you come to pick up the show and its got some pre-roll or insert that's just aimed at anybody out there, not just us MSers. Its either that or I start begging you at the beginning of each show to go to the donate jar on MSBPodcast.com. The worst thing would be that this become just another show. That would be a shame and an opportunity lost. ---- "Toasted mushrooms" by: "Momo-J" http://www.fareastpeach.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Drinking My Last Dime" by: "Rusty Zinn" http://alligatorrecords.com/index.cfm?section=artists&artistID=104 Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download.

Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Dallas" by: "Jim Suhler" http://topcatrecords.com/ "Thesis:" While I am sure that we can come up with a future with abundance in energy by getting off of the fossil fuel path (which is improperly named "fossil" anyway. I can assure you that "Barney" never died sixty-five million years ago just to get out the nozzle and into your gas tank.) The oil that lies miles below the surface of the earth and of the ocean, was probably formed by the same kind of process of biotic excretion that the proposed bacteria are doing. (Look at the first video accompanying this episode.) However there is another penury we need to be concerned about. (Though it was "safe to get back in the water again"? [You know life doesn't work that way. {And neither does Hollywood :-}]) ---- "Easy on the shorts" by: "Maria Daines" http://www.maria-daines.com/ "Synthesis:" The world is running out of the so called rare earths, not because they are being thrown away, or that they are being transformed into waste products, but because there just isn't that much of them and we need more that there exists. Lets take a look at one of these: "Gallium:" The "Mineral Information Institute" has a web page [ http://www.mii.org/Minerals/photogallium.html ] which pretty neatly sums it up: " ... It is, however, found as a trace element in a number of minerals and ores, the most important of which is bauxite (aluminum ore). In fact, gallium is a by-product of aluminum production. On average, there is 50 ppm (parts per million) of gallium in bauxite. Based on this average, known U.S. bauxite deposits could produce 15 million kilograms of gallium. Two million kilograms are in the Arkansas bauxite deposits alone. World bauxite resources are so large (estimated at 55 to 75 billion tons) that gallium could be retrieved from these ores for many years to come." Guess what? Its "years have come" and the technology that depends on gallium is becoming more popular everyday. Like using LCDs? Like using fast computers? Well who doesn't? "Gallium" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallium ] is used in many products. "Web elements" [ http://www.webelements.com/gallium/uses.html ] says: "* gallium wets glass or porcelain, and forms a brilliant mirror when it is painted on glass * used for doping semiconductors and producing solid-state devices such as transistors * gallium arsenide converts electricity into coherent light * alloying * 90 tons of gallium (2 or 3 years of world production) is used to detect solar neutrinos by the use of the reaction: nu + 71Ga > 71Ge + e-. The rate, although very low (less than 1 interaction per day in 30 tonnes of Ga) makes gallium unique for this purpose. Two experiments are running : - GALLEX using 30 tons in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (Italy) and SAGE with 60 tons in the Baksan laboratory in Caucasus (Russia)." Did you get the beginning of that last point? 90 tons is 2 to 3 years of production. (Hmmm. That should be "extraction" because gallium is an element and is produced in novae and supernovae. We don't "produce" any.) It not like we can get "Lucy and Ethel" to stop trying to eat all the chocolates and get down to work. (Sorry ... I know its gratuitous, but it was a chance to see the bit again and I couldn't pass it up. :-) Gallium is in the group of elements known as "other metals", sandwiched between "transition elements" and "rare earths" in the periodic table, and you only recover them during the execution of some other industrial process. (Becoming a chimney sweep might again be an honorable profession since gallium is even recovered from soot. [Of course not. {Only if you'd like to get posthumous medals. (Make that "printed certificates", [metals are just wasted on medals.])}]) The point is that people are going to get used to going through the debris or get used to doing without. (Relax. Its not like "The Unpleasant Profession of Johnathan Hoage" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unpleasant_Profession_of_Jonathan_Hoag ]) Soon, they are going to get used to doing without anyway because there is simply not enough being found and not enough being recycled to keep the production lines going. But I bet that there's going to be some humdinger of a fight over those resources too. ---- "Your Dice Wont Pass" by: "Edison Rocket Train" http://www.steelcagerecords.com/catalog/scr028.html "Conclusion:" According to "Wikipedia", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_earth_element ] the rare earths comprised of: Lanthanum from the Greek "lanthanon" meaning I am hidden. Cerium after Greek deity of fertility, Ceres. Praseodymium from the Greek "praso" which means leek-green. Neodymium from a Greek word "neo" which means new-one. Promethium after Prometheus who brought fire to mortals. Samarium Vasili Samarsky-Bykhovets discovered the rare-earth ore called samarskite. Gadolinium after Johan Gadolin (17 60-18 52) to honor his investigation of rare earths. Dysprosium from the Greek "dysprositos" meaning hard to get. Thulium refers to the mythological land of Thule. Ytterbium named after the village of Ytterby, Sweden, where the first rare earth ore was found And by sheer coincidence, last week's film fare consisted of going to see "Wall•E". [ http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/wall-e/ ] A charming little tale of two robots, (a little too much like "The Lady and the Tramp" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_and_the_Tramp ] for my money,) one a shining iPod-like glistening "Johnathan Ives" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Ives ] creation, (Literally. He was in on the creation of "Eve" [ http://gizmodo.com/389772/wall+e-movie-is-jonathan-ives-latest-design-job ]) and the other a hard working, dirty little box on tank treads, who meet and fall in like, (Hey its Disney. 'Like' is all you're "ever" gonna to see,) and, after much travail and ado, reintroduce the human species to an Earth they had left seven hundred years earlier a smoldering pile, nay, piles of broken shopping carts trash, junk, sterile crap debris and detritus.

Wed, 9 July 2008 msb-0324 Shauna's Being Strong Again...The Cymbals - My Brave Face .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast "page" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... Believe it or not, I don't have anything to follow up "Paul Otlet" with. Well not until Friday. :-) ---- "Brave Soldier" by: "Brendon Neill" http://brendon-neill.ukbands.net/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Braveheart - Came Ye Oer Frae France" by: "Caledonix" http://www.caledonix.de/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Bravely" by: "Mieka Pauley" http://www.mieka.com/ "Thesis:" Unlike Shauna, I never got strong as an attempt at a compliment. I was built like a white panther so that would have been pretty stupid. (I was not quite the "tear a phone book in half" type, but you could sense that I could do it after I left Montréal and got to Ottawa where the phone books were thinner. [Its actually pretty easy once you snap the spine.]) What I got a lot was "brave". I don't which is stupider; brave or strong. But people mean well, so you shut up, and hope they do. ---- "I Was Brave Today" by: "My Device" http://my-device.co.uk/ "Synthesis:" Strength I had come across a line that rang true with me and saved for when I began my blog. Then I went looking for the source of it. It came from this lady's "blog": [ http://www.tmjfriends.com/articles/after-the-cure/ ] Stacy was kind enough to let me quote her. The line that so resonated with me? Anyone who has ever gone through a serious illness has probably been told that they are “so strong,” when in fact, that strength has been mistaken for a patient’s need to not inflict any more emotional pain on those surrounding them. Is my use of humor simply an attempt to make other people feel better? Or do I really just have an excellent sense of irony? I can also be quite sarcastic. Is that another defense mechanism? Or do I really just have an excellent sense of humor? Are my coping mechanisms deemed strength by other people? I certainly hope so. Otherwise they'd be shocked to know how frightened I am sometimes. That would be a weakness. And most of us don't like others knowing our soft spots. The "cat's" [ http://www.things.org/%7Ejym/cats/pix/jackson-zo-bag.jpg ] out of the bag now though, isn't it? ---- "Scotland The Brave" by: "Caledonix" http://www.caledonix.de/ "Conclusion:" I look at people who think "I'm so brave," and I have met a few, and I dismiss them as "so utterly unrealistic". What choice do I have? That's literally the question I ask myself constantly. What options might be open to me, with a little finagling? What alternative can I use? That's how my mind works. That's how my mind has always worked. (When you're a little kid surrounded by, and forced to interact with, bigger and unkinder kids, [Hell, I was so puny until my growth spurt that the "girls" bullied me,] well, thinking on you feet's how you survive to even become an "older" kid.) People! Go figure... With attitudes like that, I'm less crippled on my worst days than they are on their best days. ---- "fortune favours only the brave" by: "peter, bjorn and john" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list ---- "Brave Soldier" by: "Brendon Neill" http://brendon-neill.ukbands.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- "Braveheart - Came Ye Oer Frae France" by: "Caledonix" http://www.caledonix.de/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Bravely" by: "Mieka Pauley" \ http://www.mieka.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "I Was Brave Today" by: "My Device" http://my-device.co.uk/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Scotland The Brave" by: "Caledonix" http://www.caledonix.de/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "fortune favours only the brave" by: "peter, bjorn and john" http://www.wichita-recordings.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

He managed to create and maintain his vision of a "Mundaneum" despite the lack of technology until the Belgian government had lost interest and until Hitler's troops had marched into his very offices and commandeered the space. ---- "Vision (Futurescape)" by: "Synthetic Movements" http://www.soundclick.com/syntheticmovements "Synthesis:" I'll let his biographers write paeans about Paul Otlet and his vision. I'm writing about something else today. You may have noticed the music has a definitely hard edge to it today. That's because I can almost feel the man's frustration in everything that he left behind as his legacy. Maybe I'm projecting here but that is something I can totally relate to. (I'm not a elitist, but I'm thoroughly fed up with working for jerks, ass-holes and jack-offs. Damn. Its so hard trying to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys.) In addition to the 17 million index cards of information, he left behind some documents which absolutely put Dewey and his decimal system to shame. He was a man of such drive that it took a world war to put him aside (the Reich was suspicious of him but even they didnt know whether to take him out and shoot him or if he might be of use to them since his organizational skills put even the Reich's to shame.) He would have attacked the internet and the web in an entirely different way than "Tim Berners-Lee" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Berners-Lee ] who's trying to play catch-up with the web with the slow creation of the "semantic web" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web ] He would not have prevented people from putting up their documents but he would have stopped those documents from going up without being properly cataloged. The idea of even needing a Google to filter through the dross would have been foreign to him. (Google's main problem is that key word searching can only take us so far. Then it runs into the problem that the words people use don't mean what they say and in combinations and phrases, they sometimes mean entirely contradictory things at the same time. [Its the old "Korzybskian" semantic anomaly of "I know you think you understood what you heard/read, but what you don't seem to realize is that what I said/wrote was not what I meant".]) If its worth doing at all, its worth doing right and he would have made sure we had the tools to do it right. The semantic web would exist already and Google searches would be that much more capable. ---- "Visions Of Armageddon" by: "Adastra" http://www.adastracave.com/ "Conclusion:" I am, or was in a previous pre-MS life, sometimes criticized for being too theoretical. That's only by people who don't turn on the ["THINK"] sign. I am the ultimate pragmatist. But I thought of the poor schmuck who was going to be stuck trying to use my software first. The average project manager doesn't. And that's why projects of all kinds, of all types and for all uses, are reimplemented again and again, over and over. I guess that that's why they're only average and average just ain't cutting it. ---- "Double Vision" by: "The Well Wishers" http://thespinningjennies.com/WellWishers.html Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Visions" by: "Lorenzo Monni" http://www.lorenzomonni.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Simplify Your Vision" by: "Lance Lopez" http://www.lancelopez.com/cds.htm album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Splintered Visions" by: "Into Eternity" http://www.centurymedia.com/us/single_artist.php?ID=27 album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Vision (Futurescape)" by: "Synthetic Movements" http://www.soundclick.com/syntheticmovements album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Visions Of Armageddon" by: "Adastra" http://www.adastracave.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Double Vision" by: "The Well Wishers" http://thespinningjennies.com/WellWishers.html album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Sun, 6 July 2008 msb-fr-0019 Paul Otlet: La Vision D'un HommeLe Mundaneum: Paul Otlet & le Web (hypertext des décenies avant le 'Net) .. http://www.archive.org/details/paulotlet/ Documentaire sur Paul Otlet par W Boyd Rayward .. Characteristiques de l'information .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- J'ai un rapide et facile, sans peine et aussi pas si fouinard que ça formulaire d'enquête que j'ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment besoin que vous alliez remplir. Vous pouvez aller à ma page "podcast" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], cliquer sur le bouton du côté gauche de la page et répondre anonymement à quelques questions simples. J'en ai vraiment besoin. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... J'ai découvert Paul Otlet. C'est éboustouflant que je faisait mon metier d'informaticien, que ma mere faisait son metier de bibliothéquaire et que nous ne conaissiont rien, ni l'un ni l'autre, de Paul Otlet. ---- "Merde" par: "Tour De France" http://www.myspace.com/bctourdefrance À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Never play in Deep France" par: "Steffen Coonan" http://www.steffencoonan.com/ À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé... Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "The Fields Of France: par: "Pete Young" http://www.bluevale.net/ "Thèse:" Félicitations. Vous l'emportez sur mon blog et podcast Anglais. Parceque Paul Otlet était Belge, je mangerai des moules et des frites ce soir. Je viens juste de completer un téléchargement du "Traité de Documentation" par "Paul Otelet"qui me provien de "L'université de Gent" en Belgique.

Le "Mundaneum" pour lui donner son vrais nom (ce qui indique qu'il souffait de la mème affliction que Buckminter Fuller et que c'étais très difficile de défricher l'étimologie de ses neologisme,) était pour lui plus qu'un exercise en futilitée. C'n'est pas ma place de dous décrire ce quoi d'autre on fait bien mieux que moi.

The internet is eating the lunch off of their plates. The worse part is that the vacuum is causing the implosion of something that never really had a business model. The coexistence of advertising and the news was never more than a marriage of convenience. To quote "Liebling": [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A._J._Liebling ] "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." Far more accurate was the quote that "People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news." As long as newspapers had a lock on people's eyeballs, they were the only game in town that people could afford. (When the last time you saw an ad on television or, to a lesser degree, heard one on the radio that was not owned by some mega-corporate-conglomerate "Keiretsu" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiretsu ].) Now that the advertisers are freed by the internet and the culture of the web, from having to support newspapers, (and all that "stuff" which doesn't do anything for the sellers' bottom line,) after the oil price hike calamity, they're running away as far and as fast as their newly slimmed down pocketbooks can take them. ---- "Imitation of the Sky" by: "Bryan Scary & The Shredding Tears" http://www.myspace.com/bryanscary "Synthesis:" The internet and the web have broken the traditional uneasy alliance between business, which, I kid you not, I saw this with my own eyes in an old issue of "Life Magazine", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_Magazine ] ran ads for Flivvers, Flappers, Cakes and Coolers next to pictures of dirt poor Okies fleeing the Ozarks or the devastation that was the Dust Bowl in a photojournalism essay by "Margaret Bourke-White" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Bourke-White ]. Neither can have been terribly happy about the juxtraposition of consumerist wealth and abject poverty with the vapid expressions of "insouciant" indolence contrasting with the misery so deeply etched into the lines on the faces of those itinerant indigents. No wonder the advertisers are running. They have a hard enough time making shit without running into "Tom Joad". [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grapes_of_Wrath ] And if you think the world isn't "full" of Tom Joads, you must be cowering in an abandoned "missile silo" [ http://www.siloworld.com/SITES%20FOR%20SALE/SitesForSale.htm ]. Okay, so where does that leave the sinking ship, the newspapers, now that the rats are jumping off. They are being forced to compete for your attention along with everybody else. But they're not like everbody else. They employ journalists, people who job is, or more to the point "was," to report the news. Propagandists still have jobs because nobody lies right to you face unless they're paid to. Its just too much to ask. Ad men still have jobs because... Well, if you were cynically inclined, I'd refer you to the last point. Lets just say that they still need to inform you of what their bosses have on sale. Neophytes, avuncular adepts and true believers in ... well anything... are on the internet; ranting, railing or raving about the objects of their obsession. We fill blogs and wikis and keep up a constant barrage of banter, IM and tweets. Some of it is good. Some of it is informed, some of it is legible and readable. But some of it, most of it I'd say, would be ass-wipe, if I was inclined to treat my laptop that way. Where does that leave the journalists? I honestly don't know. Its a "métier" that I have long admired but never held my skills and my passion up against. I wouldn't measure up. I'm just an opinionated blogger and DJ who finds and plays podsafe tunes for myself and other MSers to listen to for a couple of hours a week. I hope I'm entertaining as well as having some musical taste and that I can entice the niche players out there, the people who make stuff for us MSers to advertise their wares on this podcast. ---- "Watching the sky fall" by: "Hugh Campbell" http://www.tamusic.co.nr/ "Conclusion:" I'm also wondering if I might need a change of formats. I think I'd like to try to make the Monday podcast a record of a 'live call-in' show that I would record on Sunday evenings in my time zone. What do you think? Seriously ... Write "me" [ mailto:charles@msbpodcast.com ] and I can see what I could do by September's "MS Self Help Group" meeting. Maybe I could also enveigle the occasional doctor, clinician, drug manufacturer ... somebody we can listen to... to take part. (I'm not a salesman. I can't sell an ad on this or any other medium to save my life, but maybe if they come on through "Skype" [ http://www.Skype.com/ ] and talk to/at/with me, they'll think about advertising on podcasts. [Hey, it worked with "Joel Goldman". { http://www.joelgoldman.com/books/shakedown.asp }]) We have a show going with an good audience of sometimes over a hundred downloads per day, (sometime quite a few more times than that but I figure that they're iTunes subscribers pulling off the old episodes,) and okay they're from all over the planet but the lions' share is from here in the 'States, a sizable fraction from Canada and Britain and a few in Australia and New Zeland. (I suspect that they're using these podcasts to learn English in India, China and Japan since I have the complete text along with the audio, [the tunes are just a bonus to language students :-}]) I'll be happy if I can convert some of "you" to the same using "iTunes" [ http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=120932170 ] but going back to the "site" [ http://www.MSBPodcast.com ] to catch the YouTube videos I have selected.

Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Spiders" by: "Brian Amsterdam" http://aeriarecords.com/ "Thesis:" English is such an inventive language. A morpheme like "Iron" can mean so many things. (And it is a "morpheme", composed of "phonemes," not a "grapheme", such as you read on the blog and "hear" in your mind's, uh, ear... :-) Its a metal and therefore a noun but it can also be: * a verb, as in "to iron," * an adjective, as in "an ironed shirt," * a pronoun, as in "ironing things out," and last but not least, * a lexical root? ---- "Spider" by: "Lee Maddeford" http://www.leemaddeford.ch/ "Synthesis:" God is an Iron With thanks to "Spider Robinson" [ http://www.spiderrobinson.com/ ] for allowing me to borrow (steal) his title.... Many many years ago, a friend (George) at university introduced me to the writings of Spider Robinson. The man is very funny and insightful and punny. Makes for a very good combination. So I enjoyed everything he wrote. Then I read "Mindkiller". First of all, it was about a society that was addicted to "Wiring", plugging a wire from an individual's head to a wall outlet that provided electrical stimulation of the pleasure centre of the brain. Woo hoo! Electrical stimulation of the brain! Very nifty stuff and a topic that is still being explored for treatments of all sorts of nasty neurological conditions and a subject of which I have immense interest. Secondly, it was, or half of it was, set in Halifax. Cool. Thirdly, I knew a little about the topic and was majoring in psychology. It was like this guy had written this book for me. I had also read Michael Crichton's The Terminal Man and loved that. The second chapter of "Mindkiller" had actually been included in an anthology of short stories. The story was called "God is an Iron." When I first saw this title I thought "iron:anvil". Then I thought "iron:something to remove wrinkles". But God is an anvil or God removes wrinkles didn't make a lot of sense to me. So I decided to read the story to find out what it meant. And boy, was Spider right. God is "the" master of irony. All this is to simply set up how I found out I had MS. In January, 1998, my (ex)husband and I went on vacation to Quebec City. During the height of the big ice storm, no less. I wanted to go to St. Anne de Beaupré to send my grandmother a postcard from there. If you are Catholic you probably know about the place. It is a shrine to Saint Anne, the mother of Mary, grandmother of Jesus. People have been going there on pilgrimages for ages to seek relief from physical ailments and afflictions. My grandmother had been there in 1939 (she had polio as a child that left her lame). I knew she'd appreciate that we had made a stop there. The church that is there is really a gorgeous piece of work. We went into the church and were the only ones. We walked around, admiring the structure, the tiles, and amazed at the number of crutches, canes, and orthotics that were tacked to the front pillars, left behind by people who had been "miraculously" cured. The next day, as I was brushing my hair, my right arm felt kind of weak. And I was tripping over my right foot.; I was having trouble holding my toothbrush and even writing. We returned to Halifax and I went back to work, but went to see my family doc about the increasing weakness. She told me to come back if it got any worse and she would try to get me in to see someone. Two days later I was back in her office and she was on the phone to a colleague who saw me at the hospital that aftrnoon. At 5:45 that evening the neurologist was telling me I had MS. A couple of hours later, I was telling my parents that it was a little ironic that my symptoms began the day after I had visited St. Anne de Beaupré. And that's when it hit me.: God really IS an iron. My grandmother received the postcard and just loved it. But the entire family was sworn to keep from her my diagnosis. She passed away a year and a half later and I like to think she passed into heaven dancing a Sottish jig and then, upon discovering I had MS, giving God a piece of her mind about that. My grandmother had a wonderful sense of humor, but I doubt she would have appreciated the irony. I went to St. Anne de Beaupré and got afflicted. S. ---- "Spider song" by: "Marie Crehan" "Conclusion:" Spider Robinson was someone I read a great deal of when I was living in Canada. He is one Hell of an author and a delight to encounter at "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon." Its hard to adequately describe my admiration for someone who would actually title a book "LADY SLINGS THE BOOZE." Remember, I'm the guy who wrote a little SciFi short titled: "The Rapes of Grath". He wrote several books with his wife Jeanne that I quite admired. And god is indeed the master of irony. When ever he needs a laugh, I just make a plan. ---- "The Spider" by: "Anton Roolaart" http://antonroolaart.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Spider" by: "Alexander Blu" http://www.alexanderblu.com/AlexanderBlu/The%20Music/Music.htm album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "spiders" by: "the general and duchess collins" http://www.myspace.com/thegeneralandduchesscollins album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Spiders" by: "Brian Amsterdam" http://aeriarecords.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Spider" by: "Lee Maddeford" http://www.leemaddeford.ch/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Spider song" by: "Marie Crehan" http://www.myspace.com/MarieCrehan album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "The Spider" by: "Anton Roolaart" http://antonroolaart.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Lillian A Portrait In Sound" by: "Jim Fidler" http://www.jimfidler.com/ "Thesis:" I'm still growing into this podcasting thing. Its work, but its fun and its informative. I think I have figured out how to get advertising to work properly with podcasting (SymLinks all the way baby. Get the ad for a product, for a campaign, for a limited time, placed on the server and everybody SymLinks to it. [When the campaign is over, change the SymLink to point to the next ad for the next campaign for another time-bracketed run.]) Given that IP addresses reside somewhere in physical space as well as in hyperspace, the campaigns can also use geo-location so that they only cover a given geographic area. ---- "Home Comes The Rover" by: "Jim Fidler" http://www.jimfidler.com/ "Synthesis:" The reason I'm spending so much time thinking about how advertising works is that I enjoy doing it. Nothing particularly deep, mystical, captivating or even all that serious about it. I've got the time to devote and I know what it consists of, since I was present at the birth of the internet and of the web (it only dates back to the early nineteen-seventies and mid nineteen-nineties respectively,) I was a "propeller-headed" "bad boy" (something I'm sure many a caring mother was very conflicted about, being both a "good provider" and a "dangerous type," ["a hot, horny lunatic with a good job," is how one girlfriend from that time described me, {until my first wife took me out of general circulation.}]) My father was, amongst his few careers, an advertising manager for "Merck Sharpe & Dohme" a company that later became "Merck Frosst" and, in the 'States, is now known as the pharmaceutical giant "Merck." Growing up in the sixties and being dragged to my father's work place, I did what every other dutiful, inquisitive kid did, played with the office equipment and paid attention. Being of "Martian" character, I did what any other self-respecting propeller-headed geek would do and learned "everything", absorbing by osmosis things that I'm sure my father would have been mortified if he knew that I knew. But having survived a small, runty childhood to puberty amongst my old "school friends", I had learned the importance of shutting the hell up, keeping my senses open and paying attention. Since I didn't know what would be important later, I soaked everything up like a sponge mop. A lot of that is crud off of the dirty floor, but sometimes people "spill things." Later, when I grew a foot in height in a year, bulked up and become quite able of defending myself, I kept the habits that had served me so well and started to enjoy being the "dangerous, hot-looking" geek. Nobody looked past the "dangerous, hot looking" so I could be as smart as I liked. After a few years diverting my attentions into music, I went back to school to learn "math 'n physics" and pick up computing. So here I am with a geek's brain, a childhood edumacation in media and advertising, a few years in the music business, thirty years in computing and "in on the ground floor" of the internet. I love to think about all of this stuff. Now my MS has unfortunately provided me with the time and the opportunity to think about it. ---- "Sleep Marching" by: "Jim Fidler" http://www.jimfidler.com/ "Conclusion:" I think I have something here. Apart from broadcast solutions which have their own demographic imperatives, "niche advertising" in the internet age comes in two flavors:
Of course its starting with "preaching to the converted". But as the wider world come into contact with it, it just makes so much damn sense. I'll be happy if I can convert some of "you" to the same vision (of using "iTunes" [ http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=120932170 ]) but going back to the "site" [ http://www.MSBPodcast.com ] to catch the YouTube videos I have selected.

Sun, 29 June 2008 msb-fr-0018 Le Temps Qui Passe et Ne Laisse RienVint Cerf, ‘Father of the Internet’; Podcasting Is The Future Of Internet Media .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- J'ai un rapide et facile, sans peine et aussi pas si fouinard que ça formulaire d'enquête que j'ai vraiment, vraiment, vraiment besoin que vous alliez remplir. Vous pouvez aller à ma page "podcast" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], cliquer sur le bouton du côté gauche de la page et répondre anonymement à quelques questions simples. J'en ai vraiment besoin. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Cette fois vous ecoutez deux groupes de musiciens l'un de Paris et l'autre de Bordeaux. Oui, j'ai trouvé des Français au PMN; au "Podsafe Music Network". ---- "Cocktail Optimism" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Words" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé... Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Magic GB Jazz" par: "AjT" http://www.palmipode.net/ "Thèse:" Le video a l'avant de ce posting est important parcequ'il révèle la pensée de Vint Cerf et des autre pioniers de l'internet quand celui ci n'était encore qu'un potentiel inexploré. Il est malheureusement en Anglais et n'est pas traduit. ---- "Frust" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ "Synthèse:" J'hésite de le faire parceque ca dissout, ou au moin pénètre, les barrières naturelles des languages, mais, en vu la pénurie de materiel Francophone, je ne vois pas d'alternatives. Les notes de podcast vas contenir la liste de livres Anglais et je vous laisse les problèmes de crier après les maisons d'édition pour obtenir des traductions, ou d'acheter les livres aves les ISBN des éditions Anglaises. Vint Cerf est un personage très important a l'histoire de l'internet. Il est un des fondateurs de l'internet et un des guides responsable de sa direction. Je vous réfère a "Nerds 2.0.1 A Brief History of the Internet" par "Stephen Segaller" ISBN 1-57500-106-3. (Bonne chance, J'ai acheté ce livre en 1998. I'l y a peut-ètre, que dis-je, il y a probablement une nouvelle édition.) Ce livre raconte l'histoire et donne des petites biographies des personnages qui étais inpliqués dans la création de quelque chose de très improbable. Si le success a mille parents, l'internet était un projet orphelin dès le debut. L'objectif étais très mal défini. L'histoire est très convolu, passant du militaire au civil presqu' inappercu. La NASA se recouvrais de Palmes d'Or en mettant des astronautes sur la lune pendant que l'internet passais inaperçu durand la même période. Mais le programme d'exploration humaine de la NASA est maintenant un sujet désuet dont on parle dans le passé tandis que la conversation se passe probablement sur l'internet. ---- "I Want" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ "Conclusion:" J'hésite encore a le faire mais je vais mettre a liste de lecture a la fin des podcasts Français, en dépit du fait que les livres sont tous Anglais. Si vous pouvez remplacer les titres Anglais far des titres Français, ne soyez pas genés de m'en faire part. ---- "Burdigala Salsa" par: "AjT" http://www.palmipode.net/ Outro Désolé mais la loi DADVSI (« droit d'auteur et droits voisins dans la société de l'information ») me défend de vous faire parvenir de la musique Francaise. Le situation pourrait changer mais, jusqu'a ce jour, je suis forcé d'utiliser les chansons provenantes du PMN (Podsafe Music Network.) ---- Theme et musique 'incidentelle" provient de: "msb_theme", par: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Liste des chansons: "Cocktail Optimism" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Words" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Magic GB Jazz" par: "AjT" http://www.palmipode.net/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Frust" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "I Want" par: "Victoria Rummler" http://www.victoriarummler.com/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ "Burdigala Salsa" par: "AjT" http://www.palmipode.net/ album: "none via: http://music.podshow.com/ ---- Crédits Photo: Toutes les images, synchronizées avec les chansons, sont des artistes at proviennes de music.podshow.com excepté quand elle ne le sont pas. :-) ---- Livres: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" par "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" par "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" par "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" par "Jeffrey M.

Fri, 27 June 2008 msb-0319 Emergence by EmergencyR. Buckminster Fuller . The Buckminster Fuller Challenge - SEE THE MOVIE! from Buckminster Fuller Institute on Vimeo. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and too to figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast page [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. If you've already done this, thanks... ---- Feedback comes first, so... I told you in episode 318 that I was seeing a glimmer of hope... Part of the glimmer come from some of the curves I see as the result of the peaking of oil. If a rising tide lifts all boats, what happens when the tide recedes, and you're living on the "Bay Of Fundy" [ http://novascotia.com/en/home/aboutnovascotia/uniquely_novascotia/bay_of_fundy/default.aspx ] and risk getting stranded? Will the falling tide of oil revenue precipitate falling tax revenue, and will falling industrial demand precipitate falling tax revenue, and will falling consumer demand precipitate falling tax revenue. (See where I'm going with this?) Meanwhile, this government's little adventures on the far side of the world has precipitated a rising debt problem wich will shortly become an emergency that makes the sub-prime mortgage crisis look like the laughable joke is was. (Letting "poor people" think they had a chance at owning some "real" estate... [Snort] That's a good one.) The tax payers, the little guys, (that me and thee) are about to take it in the shorts because Osama got George's goat. (We went from a budget surplus to trillions in debt over that little debacle. [And don't tell me that Osama's still at large because we can't find him when we can find friggin' Frozen Daquiri mix on friggin' Mars. {Look for Osama to turn up like a bad penny on the first of November.}]) ---- "Architecture And Design" by: "amb26" http://amb26.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so...

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Dancing To Architecture" by: "Tris McCall" http://www.trismccall.net/ "Thesis:" The principle of "Emergence by Emergency" is a phrase used [ http://www.quoteworld.org/quotes/10179 ] by "R. Buckminster Fuller." [ http://bfi.org/ ] The man was one of my childhood heroes, my role model and a brilliant shining example, a star to me to guide my ship of "self" on. Fuller was devoted, body and mind, soul and spirit, "Jungian" "persōna" and "animus" to doing the most with the least. The Dymaxion house, car and map, his space spanning structures, his geodesics and the rest of his space enclosing structures are all realizations of extreme of economy. The principles from which these emerge must be and will be adopted, not by us, that would be too much to hope for, but by anyone who follows after us. R. Buckminster Fuller himself said: "My ideas have undergone a process of emergence by emergency. When they are needed badly enough, they are accepted." If we're going to move past the petroleum penury, we have got to accept more of the principles that Fuller elucidated. (By the way, "tonight, June 27, 2008" I'm off to the "Center for Architecture" of the "American Institute of Architects, New York Chapter" to take part in a "Fuller Film Night and Discussion".) ---- "The Architect" by: "The States" http://www.thestatesonline.com/ "Synthesis:" And what the heck was he talking about anyway? Fuller was older than the motor car, air plane, airship, antibiotic, steroid compounds, radio signal, recorded sound and was involved in the creation, from whole cloth, of much of the advanced features of the modern world. He predated most of what we take for granted. The world he lived in was a much bigger one because all of the people in it were much smaller in real and potential reach and influence. The world he lived in was a much bigger one because "oil" had not risen to prominence. His strange sounding vision of what the world could be came about partly because he had to coin new words to describe what he saw in his minds eye. (In this he could have used whatever it was that Chaucer and Shakespeare had because, while they re-formed the entirety of the English language from its distinct Saxon overlaid with Latin, French and some Greek roots, he coined words like "dymaxion", "energetic-synergistic geometry", "geodesic", "octet truss" and "tensegrity" with lexical roots as obscure as they are hard to say.) But he was concerned with making absolutely maximum use of the minimum amount of materials. Guess what? In a world without petroleum propping up archaic and inefficient production methods and transportation, there is an emergency which will cause the emergence of many of the visions of R. Buckminster Fuller. The man's genius had been in abeyance since the second world war, wating for the emergence of the right emergency. He eventually passed before it came, but its here now. ---- "Constant Architect" by: "Lejeune" http://www.lejeunemusic.com/ "Conclusion:" The "post petroleum" world is very much going to emerge by emergency. Its a shame that Fuller didn't live to see his vision of real efficiency in resource usage vindicated, but vindication is truly his. ---- "My Architects - Lists" by: "The Bakers Arms Dozen - A Fierce Panda Collection" http://www.fiercepanda.co.uk/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Architecture And Design" by: "amb26" http://amb26.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Macroarchitecture" by: "Kernel Drop" http://www.myspace.com/kerneldrop album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Dancing To Architecture" by: "Tris McCall" http://www.trismccall.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "The Architect" by: "The States" http://www.thestatesonline.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Constant Architect" by: "Lejeune" http://www.lejeunemusic.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "My Architects - Lists" by: "The Bakers Arms Dozen - A Fierce Panda Collection" http://www.fiercepanda.co.uk/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

I met some incredible jerks and some really great guys and I had some of the funniest dating stories to share with friends. It was never an issue for me to tell my dates that I had MS, most of them, anyway. It does not define me, but where I am so involved in fundraising for the MS Society and making public appearances for the cause, it is extremely important to me. On your online profile you are supposed to indicate hair and eye colour, body type or size, likes, dislikes, etc. If you are on a disabled online dating site, you may be asked to disclose your disability. But what if your disability or condition isn't quite so obvious? Like with MS. Many of us are not disabled and I couldn't in good conscience join one of those sites. So do you say on your profile that you have MS? Or is that akin to saying you have three heads? If I read a guy's profile and it said he had kids under the age of 18, I immediately crossed him off the list (I was not interested in dating someone with kids that young). Should I hold it against someone who would immediately cross me off his list after having read I have MS? I did not indicate on my profile that I have MS. But it would be brought up in either online conversation or on our first meeting. Nobody ran away screaming, but a few guys were put off right away. Such is life. Some guys confused MS with MD. Some guys appeared not to be concerned about it, and that bothered me. Of all the guys I dated only one has become an actual friend. And one has become more than a friend John clicked with me from almost the very beginning. He had a friend with MS and his mom was a neuro nurse. He has since become the love of my life. And he gives me a shot in my backside every week. (That reminds me...I'll have to write a post soon about the medication I take for the MS) I guess the reason for writing this is to show that you can have a social life with MS. Choosing to have a social life may be the hardest part. ---- "First Date" by: "Greg Federico" http://gregfederico.com/ "Conclusion:" Strange isn't it? Having MS has never put my love/personal life on hold. I just figured it was a part of growing up. (My father was one of Québec's first dialysis recipient under the Canadian socialized health policy. I just grew up with it. It was no big deal.) Its only a big deal here in the 'States. That's because they aren't very realistic down here. How immature... Everybody dies, but you'd never know it here in the 'States. Everybody gets sick, but you'd never know it here in the 'States. Some people stay sick too, but you'd never know it here in the 'States. Its all white teeth, white skin and the sun shines outta my ass, here in the 'States. At least that the lie the life contestants tell each other as they drag each other on the dance floor while they pretend not to hear the horses getting shot and being ground into 'burgers... ---- "The Rosochacha" by: "Greg Federico" http://gregfederico.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "First Date" by: "Danko Jones" http://music.podshow.com/music/artists/bandphotos/sleep_lo.jpg album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Movie Date" by: " Redefining the Moment" http://www.myspace.com/redefiningthemoment album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Robert Lund - My Men's Room Date's A Senator" by: "The FuMP" http://www.thefump.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Date with the rain" by: "37Hz" http://37hz.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "First Date" by: "Greg Federico" http://gregfederico.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "The Rosochacha" by: "Greg Federico" http://gregfederico.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Mon, 23 June 2008 msb-0317 Shedding WeightWorlds Most Amazing Instrument .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and too to figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my podcast page [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. If you've already done this, thanks... ---- Feedback comes first, so... "King Kong", [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0024216/ ] the 800 lb Gorilla in the room, gives an inkling about the sheer mass of the shit storm that will befall us all once we reach peak oil. (If you don't think we have, come up with a better explanation for why the price of oil has gone inexorably from pennies to over $140 per barrel. Greed from speculator was always there but it couldn't take advantage of the situation until a shortage was perceivable.) In effect, the Sanitation Department crew, waiting at the foot of the Empire State Building once the Animal Control Department's situation had been dealt with, was stuck with the ginormous and extremely unglamorous problem or carting the wreckage away. And it gets worse. We're still at the Animal Control stage of the script. ---- "Silent But Deadly" by: "Baron Von Lichtenstein" http://www.myspace.com/jimstiene Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" This rightfully belongs here... Go to "Brass Ivory" [ http://brassandivory.blogspot.com/2008/06/carnival-of-ms-bloggers-13.html ] and read the humorous, moving, angry (I prefer to think of them as as righteously indignant,) messages from the various MSers out there. We range the gamut of emotions in our reaction to our disease, we MSers. ---- "Dead" by: "Delphinium Blue" http://www.delphinium-blue.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Rock is Dead" by: "Jeff Mallon" http://www.jeffmallon.com/ "Thesis:" King Kong wasn't the only 800 lb Gorilla in the room, but he could suck the joy, as well as the oxygen, out of any enclosed space. The other gorilla in the room is one that dwarfs King Kong like he was a flea on "Curious George"'s ass. [ http://pbskids.org/curiousgeorge/ ] Peak oil also presages peak human population. ---- "The Man Wants Me Dead" by: "Byther Smith" http://www.black-and-tan.com/ "Synthesis:" Let me do some back of the envelope math here. (C'mon adults, its really simple. Don't get all "glazed over" on me now.) There are 6.3 billion people (at 120lb [or 60 kilos] per person on average that works out to 756,000,000,000lbs [or 378,000,000,000 kg]) of human meat alive today, right now.) The problem is that keeping the 756,000,000,000lbs [or 378,000,000,000 kg] alive will each require hundreds of tons of fodder over their average 56 to 64 year life-span. (Average means that your aunt Millie living to 87 years old was probably balanced out by someone dying at age thirty two in some god forsaken Hell hole where he was already an old man until the arrogant authorities caught up with him and taught him an up close and personal lesson about agrarian reform and recycling of waste. Its inevitable that life expectancy is about to crash as oil becomes unaffordable. One of the many things that the use of oil brought was the increase in food production, (without which, I'll grant you, we'd never have got in this mess. [But we have, so "deal with it, ok?"]) I'm not worried about me. I had already made the conscious decision to not go swimming in the gene pool in case there was some heritable component to MS. (While the jury is still out, it seems that the cause of my MS was more a question of nurture rather than nature.) But for the breeders out there, its going to be a rough adjustment. Rough but inevitable. The alternative is stupidly running out of road and going over the edge of a cliff in the family station wagon with the whole family inside. (Actually its a slower and far more agonizing death than a quick crash as you hit bottom both figuratively and literally, but just as prematurely fatal.) For examples of this kind of collapse, look no further than the inhabitants of "Easter Island" who lived on an island capable of supporting about 10,000 people, numbered a mere 4,000 in 1722 when the Europeans came a calling again and registered a scant 110 a mere seventy years later at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This was after they had chopped all their forest to make rollers for their "Aku Aku" and then greeted the pox laden pustulent white man with open arms, shortly before waving goobye to the visitors to their distant shores and shortly thereafter, uh, dropping like flies. From 10,000 souls at peak, to 4,ooo sustained survivors, to 110 wretches post-discovery by "Whitey." Meeting us was far more calamitous than even chopping down all their trees and effectively standing themselves on a speck of dirt at the ass-end of the world. The biomass is hitting the rotating impeller and we'd better adjust or we'll go extinct. On the positive side, it means the death of the phrase "be fruitful and multiply." Sex will become purely for pleasure rather than the procreative burden its always been up 'til now... Not to pique your prurient interests but there'll be more on that on an another episode. ---- "Dead In The Water" by: "AMUC" http://www.soundclick.com/AMUC "Conclusion:" The structure of society is unsustainable at its current non-renewable consumption levels. This is a problem we've been ignoring since we started this silliness back in the middle of the nineteenth century because there was cheap available oil energy to cope with the ever expanding population, the ever expanding economies in Europe and in North America and recently the rest of the world has jumped on a bandwagon that is too small for it and its only shrinking day by day. We can either go away and become extinct, (not a very palatable solution if you're the species that is going extinct,) or "deal with the coming population contraction." (A euphemism for a die off where almost, but not everybody, has to go [actually everybody end up going at some point, but it is usually not all at the same time. {That's called "extinction".}]) ---- "polka deadman" by: "mad shad" http://myspace.com/madshadukulele Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Silent But Deadly" by: "Baron Von Lichtenstein" http://www.myspace.com/jimstiene album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Dead" by: "Delphinium Blue" http://www.delphinium-blue.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Rock is Dead" by: "Jeff Mallon" http://www.jeffmallon.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "The Man Wants Me Dead" by: "Byther Smith" http://www.black-and-tan.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Dead In The Water" by: "AMUC" http://www.soundclick.com/AMUC album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "polka deadman" by: "mad shad" http://myspace.com/madshadukulele album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Fri, 20 June 2008 msb-0316 The "Nuclear Meltdown Family"Daft Punk Discovery Helmets .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn.

You can go to my podcast page [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. If you've already done this, thanks... ---- Feedback comes first, so... There are a number of web sites on oil and on renewable energy. One of the "best" is called "The Oil Drum." [ http://www.theoildrum.com/ ] They have podcasts and a good media distribution mechanism (lots of books and links.) And we'll get back to 'em soon. Basically, renewable energy is any energy that you get a net "gain" from. (If your ass is getting shot off in foreign parts, you might not be willing to define "gain" in quite the same way.) Part of the problem is is that the gain is quite probably less that what you get from oil. Pound per pound, oil is just about ideal for both the conveyance and the generation of energy. But this show is not about that this time, this show is about the re-formation or revival of the nuclear family but its going to be somewhat changed by necessity. ---- "Clockwork Family" by: "Dan Warren" http://www.myspace.com/danwarren1 Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" To [name withheld] (you're going to torture me like this ain't cha?) The New York Times had an "article" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/19/technology/19patient.html?ref=technology ] about the biggest stumbling block to the adoption of computerized patient records being the doctors themselves. Benefit to the patients be damned, doctors are "not" going to invest in themselves or in their profession. The uptake in computerized patient records occur when firms reach a number of doctors large enough to make them targets of lawsuits. (When you have enough doctors, [like 50 or so,] you know one of them is going to screw up and maybe somebody'll end up taking a dirt nap.) The cost benefit says that then you computerize. That way you can roil the waters with a computer shaped paddle. Notice how benefit to the patient is never mentioned... Its of no benefit to the doctor. ---- "Twisted Family Ties" by: "Delina" http://myspace.com/delinarissin Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download.

Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Family Relations" by: "Ernie Payne" http://www.black-and-tan.com/ "Thesis:" The coming energy shift, (its not a crisis, its a shift, get a grip on yourself,) means a lot of things are going to have to change. The 800 pound gorilla in the room is that the population has to drop from its level current of 6.5 billion down to about 2 billion. Fortunately time will take care of this. Unfortunately, that means that a lot of people are "not" going to be realistic about it. Time heals all wounds and wounds all heels. I'm am seriously not upset about the fact that two thirds of the population is going away, eventually three thirds of the population is headed for a dirt nap. But the remaining third has got to do better than we did. The first thing that's going to have to go is the idea of being, uh, "fruitful and multiplying". Its counter indicated for now and it won't be a good idea later when the population has stabilized at something sustainable "post-petroleum". The next thing that's going to have to go is the idea of a suburban/urban population. In the economies of scale the urbs have it. The suburbs are not going disappear but the idea of a commute is very much past its "sell by date". ---- "Family Vacation" by: "The Four Bags" http://www.thefourbags.com/ "Synthesis:" Lets examine the processes at play here. On the one hand, we have an inescapable fact. Oil is "not" a renewable resource. (Oh I know about the modified "e. coli bacteria" that are happily excreting crude oil in a lab in California, but I don't think that it will get to be more than a replacement for our industrial uses for oil, [namely making lubricants and fertilizer.]) On the other hand we have a plethora of denials, delusions, faiths (literally as well as figuratively) beliefs, disbeliefs, doubts and doubters. Frankly, there are a lot of people who have a lot to lose if we don't do this right and rush things beyond necessity. "But not as much as they stand to lose if we don't do anything." That things will work themselves out is a given. That things will go on without us is also a given, for a few billion years anyway. (Then the sun runs out of hydrogen.) But I'd prefer an immediate future where human beings are "not" extinct. That means if we're not going to go away entirely, or devolve into a few random clusters of hominids, we've got to come to some understanding. Technology doesn't have to disappear and it probably won't. But the sense of "the yawning open road" probably has to and will. The wanderlust that seized the imagination of the average AmeriCanadian, reinforced by the Jack Kerouac's "On The Road" is going to return to its humbler origins of the wandering minstrel. No to mention that the internet infrastructure makes communication possible, so the bad parts of alienation, ignorance, isolation and loneliness are not going to drag us down. We can share in a larger sense of belonging and of family because, as the world grows again, as the means of transport become prohibitively expensive, we will be united in a mesh of glass fibers. ---- "Family of Strangers" by: "Steve Stellavato" http://www.stevestellavato.com/ "Conclusion:" The population on the earth will have to shrink as it simply can't be maintained. In some cases, its going to be a sensible process. People will simply forgo the survival of their own personal genetic lines in favor of survival of some kind, of some "kin". They will ... collaborate. Child rearing will become communal and people will share in the pleasure as well as the sheer work that bringing a new life into the world entails. Being an uncle or aunt will mean more than it currently does. In other cases its going to be an incredibly messy business. People will engage in spectacular acts of barbarism and senseless misbehavior simply because they didn't "get the memo" that the oil's running out or they plumb didn't believe it. And, boy are they going to be "pissed"! Sadly, competition for any scarce resource is pretty much guaranteed to bring out the worst in people. Its not going to be pretty. Luckily, because there won't be any oil left, its pretty much self-limiting and the pockets of such behavior won't be spreading. ---- "Family and Friends" by: "Rob Szabo" http://www.robszabo.com/ Outro http://www.vbs.tv/shows/toxic/garbage-island/ ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Clockwork Family" by: "Dan Warren" http://www.myspace.com/danwarren1 album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Twisted Family Ties" by: "Delina" http://myspace.com/delinarissin album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Family Relations" by: "Ernie Payne" http://www.black-and-tan.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Family Vacation" by: "The Four Bags" http://www.thefourbags.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Family of Strangers" by: "Steve Stellavato" http://www.stevestellavato.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Family and Friends" by: "Rob Szabo" http://www.robszabo.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Wed, 18 June 2008 msb-0315 Shauna Rides OnI'm Voting Republican .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- I have a quick and easy, painless and not too figgin' nosy customer survey that I really, really, really need you to go and fill out. You can go to my "podcast page" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com ], click on the button on the left hand side of the page and anonymously answer a few simple questions. I really need this. ---- Feedback comes first, so... First, I want to apologize to Shana for the video at the front of this post but it was so darn funny that I just had to include it. Next, I'm going to try cleaning up the mess my friend made to the database of my "wiki" [ http://wage.packet.org/ ] because, well just because. (Yup. Letting a manager actually "do" something in North America is usually a recipe for disaster. :-) Lastly, I'd really appreciate it if my anybody hearing this would go to my "Podcast site" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com/ ] and take the audience survey. I'm trying things out with Wizzard Media and I figure the first thing to do is get you to tell them you actually exist and that I haven't downloaded the 75 thousand podcasts (to date!) by myself. ---- "Bike" by: "Steve Dreher and Friends" http://www.steveandfriends.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Backpack bike-ride" by: "Audiofinger" http://www.audiofinger.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Diamond Bike" by: "Offcutts" http://www.myspace.com/offcutts "Thesis:" Shauna rides a bike and so did I until I moved to Ottawa back in the eighties. I used to ride it "everywhere", all the time, and in any weather. (Much to the amusement of my friends who used to make fun of the "black stripe" that ran down my back after a ride in the rain.) Montréal is a city built around a mountain too so there was a lot of hill climbing and coasting. I used to love coasting down "Atwater Street" and speeding past cars by the bottom of a very "l-o-n-g" hill. (You had to pick your lane, do it when there wasn't too much traffic and time it just right so that you went through the street lights during a green light sequence. Man ... "Syzygy" ... I loved doing that. "University Street" was steeper and wider but it was shorter and there was always more traffic. :-) I used to work and commute on both those streets so I got to be intimate with the pavement... (Sometimes face first... [ "Ouch!" {I admit it. I was bat shit crazy! :-}]) ---- "Bikeride" by: "SCANLAN" http://www.myspace.com/scanlanmusic "Synthesis:" Because of unrelated health issues, I have been unable to ride my bike since April 30th. Keeping my fingers crossed, I'm going to try a little the first week of June (maybe even as you are reading this) to get ready for the MS Bike Tour. I have been doing a little prep work in advance of getting on the bike, mainly gardening with lots of up and downs, and stairs. I have mentioned that before I even began riding I spent two months at the gym (makes me sound sooooo athletic, doesn't it?). My reasoning was that I wanted to be able to get on the bike and not be discouraged by lack of physical fitness. And to a degree it worked. I was able to go much farther than I thought I'd be able. The only problem was the seat. I wanted to be comfortable on a bike seat for long periods of time, and at my leisurely pace a regular bike seat just wasn't going to cut it. The search began for something like a tractor seat. I'm not kidding, either. That's how I phrased it when I went in to Sport Wheels in Lower Sackville. The owner thought about it for a minute, then said, "I've got just the thing". And he came back with the biggest bike seat I've ever seen. It's about a foot across. He told me he got one for his mom's exercise bike. So now I'm feeling a little bit old and decrepit, but I bought it and put it on the bike. Simply put, it is one of the most comfortable seats I've ever sat on. And I don't care how silly it looks (and it does). It generates a lot of interest by on-lookers, I've gotten a few smiles from people, and few expressions of interest in buying it. I often offer to let folks try sitting on it. One day while taking the bike off the car 3 boys came by on skateboards. "Whoa, dudes.....look at the pimped out bike!" At least a few preteens thought I was cool. I think I understand the reasoning and the physics behind some of those extraordinary bike seats I've seen, you know the ones with holes in them or specially designed to accommodate male genitalia, or the one with the two teeny tiny little pads for a teeny tiny little butt. And I know that speed demons spend little time resting on their laurels, so to speak. I can't imagine getting on one of those things. My giant seat did the trick for my first year of riding. I got a fairly large gel seat for last year's bike tour on my hybrid, but my tractor seat will stay on the mountain bike. The whole point of being more comfortable was to stay longer on the bike and therefore get more exercise. It worked! Someday, I may have a bike built for speed and one of those high tech seats, but I'm no Lance Armstrong and I'm not in a race. I just want to stay upright, finish if I can, and raise money for a worthy cause. ---- "Brown Bike" by: "Nortec Collective" http://www.myspace.com/tijuanasoundmachine "Conclusion:" Oh god. I'm sitting here typing this with a "huge" grin on my face. I hadn't thought of my bike and biking in years. Its a miracle I'm still alive after some of the shit I pulled on those bikes, (which sometimes involved their complete and utter annihilation, so its quite the plural. [One of them is buried in the concrete wall of the foundation of a famous Montréal landmark. {Its along Atwater street. I won't tell you how fast I was going when I wiped out, but it had to make quite a jump to get to where the concrete was being poured. :-}]) ---- "Yellow Bike" by: "Tracy Jane Comer" http://www.tracyjanecomer.com/ Outro Look at this "link" and it'll make you sick with how we've treated this planet with indifference.

Sun, 15 June 2008 msb-fr-0016 Le MensongeDaft Punk Technologic Liquid Dance by LPEric .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Je n'ai rien de personel a réveler. ---- "All Lies" par: "(De La Vega) Ivy League" http://www.myspace.com/IvyLeagueRock À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Cigarettes and Lies" par: "The Essentials" http://www.essentialsmusic.net/ À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé...

Je ne peut qu'esperer que vous ferez les démarches nécessaires pour vous informer. ---- "Lies" par: "chasing red" http://www.indiestore.co.uk/chasingred "Synthèse:" Le monde Francophone est très chanceux en Amérique du Nord et en Europe. Le Québec a "La Grande Rivière," une source d'énergie renouvelable hydro-electrique enorme. Elle s'appuie sur la gravité. La France a ses centrales nucléaires de conception standardisées et très sûr. Elle produit très peu de déchets. Dans le reste du monde, ça va etre plus difficile, énormement plus difficile. Mais c'est pas nécessairement une catastrophe. Du moin une pire catastrophe que celle qu'on vois tous les soirs a la télé. De monde se rétrécis et s'aggrandis en mème temps. Le raprochement de tous, de tout le monde, lié ensemble par nos services de télécommunications, va éliminer la distance entre nous tous. Les distances physiques vont encore une fois devenir enorme. Se deplacer va devenir très couteux et prendre beaucoup de temps. Nos choix doivent etre réaliste et prendre en considération la séparation physique qui s'aggrandit en même temps que le rapprochement de l'information vas nous permettre de travailler beaucoup plus efficacement lorsque nous arrivons enfin a notre destination. Ca vas se passer. J'essaie d'éviter que l'on fassent trop de casse en passant. ---- "Lies to Lead Us" par: "Jonathon Dewveall" http://www.jonathondewveall.com/ "Conclusion:" Le monde moderne repose sur les épaules du pétrole.

Fri, 13 June 2008 msb-0313 Oily HairGroovy Dancing Girl (Daft Punk - Harder, Better,Faster, Stronger) .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast.

The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... The reality of "Peak Oil" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil ] is almost upon the world. (If it hasn't happened already, but we're still waiting for the news from politicians, [people who have a worse bedside manner than our neurologists.]) Debatably, the "Hubbert Peak Theory" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbert_peak_theory ] elucidated by "M. King Hubbert" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M._King_Hubbert ] may have already passed. But lets pretend that its still looming in front of us, like the first hump of a "roller coaster" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roller_coaster ] at "Magic Mountain" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Flags_Magic_Mountain ] about to send us down a real scary ride... (It has no guard rails, no inspectors, no ride operators to sue when the biomass hits the rotating impeller. Its really not safe and quite a few of us have already died, crushed into paste under its tank treads.) The world will have to adapt and for once they're going to be looking at "us" the MSers and the rest of the 15% of the world that they have ignored, for clues as to how to proceed. We have no choice in the matter either. They'll take advantage of us like they always have, without a second thought, and the gloves will come off like a dress at a party held at Hugh Hefner's "Playboy Mansion" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Playboy_Mansion ]. Luckily for us, there's enough Internet capacity that we can afford to seem magnanimous. ---- "Snakeoil" by: "Buddhastik" http://myspace.com/buddhastik Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Cod Liver Oil" by: "Great Big Sea" http://greatbigsea.com/ Feed Me comes third, so...

(I've got some really cool "Mocean Worker" happening on my headphones right now, [Damn! I wish I could share the sounds filling my head as I write this: "Tickle It" off the "Cinco de Mowo!" CD. Damn the RIAA. "Mocean Worker" are seriously "good! {if this podcast was making a cent, I might take up ASCAP/BMI's offer up and pay them if only the RIAA wasn't right behind them with "their" hand out and I still haven't got a note to play.}]) Well, I have become expert at husbanding and conserving energy in my own body... ---- "Blood is thicker than oil" by: "The Undercover Hippy" http://www.undercoverhippy.com/ "Synthesis:" First remember the cover of "Douglass Adams" "Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy" and "Don't Panic!" I know that this is easier said than done. What with all of your fine world fading away out of your grasp; you're getting laid off 'cause your employer's going broke almost as fast as you, your car becoming unaffordable, the gas for it becoming as out of reach a movie star's butt, your house, or your rental is going up; but you're going to have an easy move 'cause everything you financed is getting repoed, none of its your fault but the pricks who care, uh, don't care, they don't want to hear it, they just want to get their money before it devalues; your entire life is being turned upside down, stripped naked, dipped in molasses and staked down facing a hill crawling with fire ants. Yup. "There a change's a gonna come." An thass no lie. If feel for ya buddy. I really do, unlike what you did for me. (Its a cane, not a hearing aid. I'm not deaf. I heard you honk at me. Impatient weren't you. And just to get here? Ha! It is to laugh!) Now that you've run out of gas, along with the rest of the world, stop making like a "Window Licker" with one shoe nailed to the floor. Start with the quick inventory. Do you have all of your limbs? (My inventory also includes the question: Do they all work right now?) Think "Maslow's Pyramid" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_Pyramid ] Now how can you get through the day as energy efficiently as possible? Give the Gods a laugh, and make a plan. First where are you? Where do you have to get to? No don't go there. Just think, (I know it hurts an' "makes y'all feel like yo head wants to bus' wide open") but do you really have to pick that "schmidgick" up or deliver that "schmegeggy" or would an electronic form sent over the internet be sufficient? Do you really have to see that person or would a conference call or video be enough? (Electrons weigh damn near nothing and their transmission is damn near instantaneous.) Now for everything else, "line up your ducks". Between A and B are there steps that you can save, steps that you can combine? Have you got everything and is it all accessible, in a personal carrier? There's nothing as wasteful as getting up and making a trip twice because you forgot something. Next is running the risk of dropping the ball, figuratively or literally. Be prepared, and be prepared to go slow. "When the world is running down, you have to make the best of what's still around." -Sting ---- "oilsands" by: "johnjack" http://radio3.cbc.ca/bands/johnjack "Conclusion:" We have a lot to contribute to our more fortunate but less clued in brothers and sisters out there. The trick will be to not seem like insufferable know-it-alls as we teach them the way we "line up our ducks" and avoid wasteful motion in everything. We know and respect "energy" (the ability to do work,) but we are on intimate terms with "anergy" (the ability "not" to do work.) Haste makes waste and soon nobody will have the energy to waste being stupid. ---- "Snake Oil" by: "Jenny Dalton" http://www.jennydalton.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Snakeoil" by: "Buddhastik" http://myspace.com/buddhastik album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Cod Liver Oil" by: "Great Big Sea" http://greatbigsea.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Addicted To Oil" by: "Mr. Tunes" http://www.mrtunes.ca/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Blood is thicker than oil" by: "The Undercover Hippy" http://www.undercoverhippy.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "oilsands" by: "johnjack" http://radio3.cbc.ca/bands/johnjack album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Snake Oil" by: "Jenny Dalton" http://www.jennydalton.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Wed, 11 June 2008 msb-0312 Shauna On NeuroplasticityIts rare that I encounter Flash animations this beautiful (Click on it to launch it.): .  .intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... First, let me say welcome to the new listeners through iTunes who bumped my stats up by a nice margin. Sorry you've got MS but there are now disease modifying drugs and treatments so its not the tragedy it once was. ---- I'm reading a great book about what some people consider "The Apocalypse". [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalpse ] The sh- uh, biomass has been flung and it will impact with, uh, the rotating impeller here on Friday's show. --- Meanwhile, I'm getting more and more news that shows me that using HMOs to implement health care is for idiots and imbeciles. The New York Times had "this" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/01/health/01insure.html?_r=1&hp=&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1212264024-ljbTCSJldAaSHRdgL/0QZg&pagewanted=all ] article that pretty much states that if you're going to carry a uterus in working order but with only an average size cervix, the HMOs don't want anything to do with you because they don't want to pay for Caesarians. Which kind of says it all. The reason that so many women need Caesarians is that, consisting as it does of soft tissue, the human brain is evolving and growing at a faster pace than the rest of the skeleton. Heck. The brain case of infants doesn't fuse until months after birth already (it isn't really a skull until after it does so,). HMOs don't care about human evolution, they care about their profit and your having microcephalic congenital idiots doesn't impact their bottom line, so take your healthy, brainy kid, your too tight birth canal and "gid outta here." And what are we paying them for what exactly? (I keep hearing a fragment of "Edwin Starr"s [ http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/edwin_starr/war.html ] refrain playing in my head. "What is it good for? Absolutely nothing! Listen to me.") ---- "strange attractor" by: "stretch armstrong" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=3e4a42ad85c642614f91d893a6446abf Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Some Strange Feeling" by: "Davis Coen" http://www.daviscoen.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Strange Days" by: "Quiet Riot" http://www.myspace.com/quietriotrehab "Thesis:" Here's Shauna with her own observations on "Neuroplasticity". ---- "Hey Your So Strange" by: "Love = Action" http://www.myspace.com/loveisaction "Synthesis:" Several weeks ago I attended a lecture about neuroplasticity. That is a fairly new word and a fairly new area of study. Scientists are discovering that the brain is amazingly plastic; that is, able to adapt to change. We are now discovering that the brain, in certain areas, is able to grow new cells, something once thought impossible. And it makes new connections constantly. There is a whole new industry being promoted around "brain health", making new connections, and regenerating brain cells. Exercise your brain! Do crossword puzzles! Stave off Alzheimer's- do Sudoku! You've seen the headlines and heard about different "programs" that aim to improve your brain fitness. There's no doubt that some mental exercise can help you relax, learn to concentrate, and perhaps help you become better at certain puzzles. But the best thing you can do for your brain is exercise your body and give your brain an optimal environment. Exercise improves blood flow to all parts of your body, including your brain, and that improves oxygenation and the circulation of vital nutrients required by your brain for energy and function. Exercising your body involves a complex set of actions in the brain, causing neurons to fire all over the place in response, reorganizing and reinforcing the neural networks you already have and making new connections. An optimal environment for your brain is one free of physical impediments like alcohol or drugs, polluted air, improper amounts of sleep and stress. That's next to impossible, so reduce the impediments you are able to. You need to feed your brain as well as your body with a low fat, high fibre diet. And for me, the occasional chunk of chocolate (that's good for the mental health). When I was first diagnosed with MS, I asked the doctors about rehab. Was there anything in particular that I could do to get back the right side of my body? Was there anything I could do to not lose it or anything else? The short answer was "No". MS is a disease of the central nervous system; it affects the communication ability of the nerves to and from the rest of the body. Trying to work limbs that wouldn't cooperate was next to useless. So no amount of rehab would help me get back what I had lost. For people with MS, rehab is used to learn how to do things differently. As it turned out, the type of MS I have is called relapsing remitting. It went into remission and I eventually regained about 97% of what I had lost. The 3% I didn't get back is unnoticeable except to me and my neurologist. I hardly ever notice a deficit and no one else ever does, so I don't think about it much. But at the back of my mind for the past 10 years has been the idea of rehabilitation. It works for many stroke patients; it's a matter of training your brain to make new and/or different connections, to go around the injured area. Wouldn't this somehow work for people with MS? It was and still is a good quesion. So what does this have to do with cycling you might ask? Besides being an excellent way to exercise your body, cycling has an added benefit for your brain. The simple act of riding your bike requires paying attention to your surroundings, traffic, pedestrians, rocks and mud holes. This mental stimulation while biking is going to help your brain and probably help generate new connections. I suspect the combination of mental stimulation while exercising is what has attracted me to it in the first place. Did I know all this two years ago when I began cycling? Nope. I just knew that I had finally found an exercise that I loved. Now I know that not only is it good for my body, it's good for my brain. Whether or not there are new connections being made or new cells being generated, cycling is good for me. Just recently the National MS Society in the U.S. awarded a large grant to the University of Northern Carolina for MS research that includes developing an MS-specific curriculum in physical therapy. I can only hope that their research will involve using the brain's plastic ability to overcome some of the disability MS causes. In the meantime, I will exercise my brain by jumping on the bike. ---- "Strange Thing" by: "Marvel" http://www.myspace.com/thebandmarvel "Conclusion:" Like so may things, I'm discovering that "impossible" just means "my doctor is too intellectually crippled to bother finding out." Luckily for us, there are lots more people out there; so if your doctor is too, uh, "otherwise occupied" by something else, (like getting payment from an HMO who's job, indeed who's justification for existing on this planet, is to "not" give it to 'em,) there are others who might see the connection and help you to make it. ---- "Dont be a stranger" by: "The Whiskey River Band" http://www.thewhiskeyriverband.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "strange attractor" by:"stretch armstrong" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=3e4a42ad85c642614f91d893a6446abf album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Some Strange Feeling" by:"Davis Coen" http://www.daviscoen.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Strange Days" by:"Quiet Riot" http://www.myspace.com/quietriotrehab album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Hey Your So Strange" by:"Love = Action" http://www.myspace.com/loveisaction album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Strange Thing" by:"Marvel" http://www.myspace.com/thebandmarvel album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Dont be a stranger" by:"The Whiskey River Band" http://www.thewhiskeyriverband.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Mon, 9 June 2008 msb-0311 Reflections In A Limpid Cerulean Pool"Paper" video by: "The Get Out Clause" .. Manchester is full of closed circuit television cameras (CCTV.) Since necessity is the mother of invention, the band set up their equipment, drum kit and all, where they knew the cameras would be pointing and used the freedom of information act to retrieve the footage from all kinds of cameras shooting video footage. Clever use of equipment for the purpose for which they were intended (capturing video of public places,) but not for the purpose for which they were intended (helping the band make a video for nothing.) intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... Like the title for this episode? I did. It doesn't mean a thing but it still a nice turn of phrase; evocative of cool waters under a clear sunny sky at some low-latitude locale. [beep] "This is a test of the Emergency Podcast System." If there had been an actual emergency, a terrorist attack, a fire, a famine, a plague, a tornado, a flood or other example of extreme weather, a tsunami, an earthquake, a declaration of upcoming imminent thermo-nuclear annihilation, or the sun exhausting its fuel and blowing its shell before collapsing and contracting into a cold brown dwarf, leaving the cinder formerly known as earth orbiting in the inky depth of space, you would have had to figure it out for yourself, wouldn't you. Podcasting, using RSS to distribute "deltas" in a list of files, is "exactly" like using e- or snail-mail. You wouldn't send a letter to your great aunt Fanny telling her you'd cut yourself and were asking for her advice for stauching the bleeding would you? You be a dessicated husk lying on the kitchen floor if you were that helpless or that, uh, Darwinian-ly disposed. There are times when you "need" a megaphone and somebody with a really loud mouth. So don't get too cocky about podcasting taking over everything, Its capable of filling all of the niches, like mortar between the bricks, but we still need broadcasting. (Otherwise, "Bush"or "Mugabe" or any other tyrannical tin pot dictator monkey in a three piece suit or an army uniform might declare a war an' nobody'd show up.) This was a test of the "Emergency Podcast System"... And it failed... [beep] ---- "No Use Denying" by:"The Cool Waters Band" http://www.coolwatersband.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so...

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Get On" by:"The Cool Waters Band" http://www.coolwatersband.com/ "Thesis:" I keep evaluating text to speech software, preparing for the eventuality of being unable to utter anything intelligible, uh. make that "of insufficient clarity to be decipherable", by anyone else. So far, bubkiss, nada, nuttin', it ain't happening. Fuggedaboudid. As it turns out, generating speech is a hard problem, relying as it does on idiosyncrasies of the speaker's pacing, the wider problem of tone and the indescribably variable problem of regionalism. That we can understand each other at all is already a friggin' miracle. Trying to do so with any kind of speech impediment, (beyond the wit or witlessness of the stuff I'm spouting,) is extremely difficult. That's why I admire Shauna so much. She's really got the gift of gab. She speaks clearly and succinctly. I regret to say that, while I "used" to have the same gift, I am now reduced to barely coherent mumblings and mutterings. But perhaps I can teach myself to speak again with the help of certain pacing and cadence devices. ---- "Do What You Need" by:"The Cool Waters Band" http://www.coolwatersband.com/ "Synthesis:" In order to stave off that day, I am implementing some suggestions by my Friend Eugene, the SysAdmin. You should have noticed that my delivery has been a lot more, uh, measured the last few shows. That's because I am using a teleprompter type system which presents the words of the script to me at a slower pace than I would otherwise read them. Its not that I can't speak intelligibly, I can, as evidenced by the present, but its that when I read, I read full-speed and often get to the end of a paragraph before I have even uttered a few words of the first sentence. Since I wrote the entire thing, I further trip up my tongue by actually remembering the words I wrote and skimming instead of reading and getting even further ahead while my all to fallible tongue stammers, tries to get the rest of my mouth in position and tries to get the words out. We should see if this metronomic systems of pacing my otherwise racing speech-box helps with my comprehension. ---- "On My Mind" by:"The Cool Waters Band" http://www.coolwatersband.com/ "Conclusion:" God helps those who help themselves and in this case the help has come in the form of a metronomic prompter, just like the use in TV studios.

Sun, 8 June 2008 msb-fr-0015 La VéritéeDaft Punk - Robot Rock .. intro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Je vien d'avoir mes yeux ouvert a une réalitée incontestable. Il y a une limite a ce qu'on peut accomplir parsequ' il y a une véritée sacrement facheuse, pire encore que la sclérose en plaque. La quantitée d'huile est limitée. Une fois qu'on sen sert, elle est disparue de la planète. ---- "1979" par: "37Hz" http://37hz.net/ À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez partager. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Badinerie" par: "37Hz" http://37hz.net/ À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé... Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Bunker Buster" par: "37Hz" http://37hz.net/ "Thèse:" La quantitée d'huile est limitée et on approche le milieux, si on la pas déja dépassé, et ça impose certaine constraintes, certaine réalitées, qui changent tout ce qu'on connais et tout ce qu'on est. La réalitée est que la capacité de chargement que la planète peut supporter "post petrole" est de deux milliard de personnes, approximativement. Or nous sommes déja a six milliards comme population. (Je détecte un certain débranchent, ou une débâcle inévitable. Et nous y revienderons dans d'autres épisodes a suivre.) L'agriculture "post petrole", où les terres seront moins fertiles pour manque de nitrate de potassium, parcequ'on n'as pas le pétrole pour en produire, va devenir de plus en plus importante. ---- "Be The Change You Want To See In The World" par: "37Hz" http://37hz.net/ "Synthèse:" Qu'est ce que ceci a foûtre avec la sclérose en plaques? Deux chôses: Premierement, il n'y a plus de pétrole... Le transport va pendre le bord parceque il va devenir de plus en plus cher. (Jusqu'a temps que les transports en communs et le transports de saisie court deviennes entièrement électrifiés.) La disponabilitée d'énergie "en toute ses formes" devient plus coûteuse. Deuxièmement, il n'y a plus de pétrole... La disponabilitée de produits "en toute leurs formes" devient plus coûteuse. Inclus dans ça sont toutes les medecines pour nous SPcimens. Mais l'agriculture est la clé à tout. Qu'il y aura des morts, c'est inévitable. Des "milliards" de morts. C'est tragique, mais tout le monde meurt. Deux tiers à trois quarts des gens sur cette planète sont déjà au-delà de la capacité de cette planète. Cela nécessitera des changements, tant court terme que long terme, dans à peu près tous les aspects de la société. ---- "Dwindle" par: "37Hz" http://37hz.net/ "Conclusion:" Le milieu de la courbe de la disponibilitée du pétrole est déja ici.

Fri, 6 June 2008 msb-0310 I Doubt You'll See These On Network TV.Coors Ad#1 .. Coors Ad #2 .. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... There are two ads for "Coors Light" at the front of this posting, not because I like the beer (I like "Belgian" beers and "Canadian" beers, "Coors", not so much... Light beers? Nahh.) but because it reflects the direction that ads are taking on the internet. You aren't likely to see the ads on broadcast media either. They were created for the internet and the production values, and costs by the way, reflect those found in YouTube "viral videos". They are "not" representative of the glitz, and the cost, of the beer ads on the NASCAR circuit. They make use of cheap and easy special effects. (You don't think that beer can be poured from any distance, land in a glass and not splash everywhere do you? [If you do, I have got some books on basic high-school physics that explain why life doesn't work that way...]) Life ... doesn't ... work ... that ... way... ---- "THE SPECIALIST" by: "the specialist" http://www.myspace.com/in4rmrecords Feed Forward comes next, so...

Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" My friend eugene, the SysAdmin, came by to update my Linux house server. He managed to screw up the wiki database so the wiki's off line until he gets around to fixing it. ---- "Melody Of Life" by: "Fluid Boys" http://www.fluidboys.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Strange Thing" by: "Marvel" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/www.myspace.com/thebandmarvel "Thesis:" I'm trying to stay relevant to the theme of MS but I keep drifting into media and advertising news. (I can't help it. I'm a media junky. :-) What the heck? Its my show.. :-) If it bothers any of you that badly, you can tell me and I'll shut it off. Like I did country music. (Well, the whiny, "I gots tears in my ears from lyin' on mah back, cryin' my eyes out over yooo..." type of country and western. [I still enjoy the occasional "I broke mah leg, so mah horse shot me!" kind of song, {but I don't subject you to it. :-}]) Then again, I know when I'm listening to complete and utter crap. (And that includes over produced high-gloss crap like I had on a video 'bumper' a while back.) ---- "Walking Down China Town" by: "Keenan" http://www.keenanbaxter.com/ "Synthesis:" What makes the Coors commercials so distinctive is not that they're there but that they're there for cheap. Producing these commercials was probably done for less money than the cost of feeding the "Clydesdales" on a shoot. (Wrong beer company I know, but don't you think that any of this is getting lost on "Anheuser Busch" either.) So what's my point? My point is that, as the beer companies do, so too do the rest of the clients of the advertising industry. As a multi-national brand for a consumer product, I welcome what they've finally seen and found a way to use the internet. (But I still drink "Pacifico Clara" beer. [And its not why you think. I like the flavor, not just the fact that they aren't on "big media".]) While the ads might seem as intrusive as ever, they really aren't. You have to actively ask for them to be presented to your browser or other media player. But remember that its over the internet and that the distribution costs are dirt cheap. Don't think that that lesson is lost on the beer companies and the others who are lining up behind them. What they don't have to spend on a scarce resource, a transmitter, they can instead spend on putting together the best ad they can. Fortunately, the age of YouTube and viral videos has set the bar so low, (let me repeat that, set the bar so low,) that they're having to rediscover how the heck they put ads together before they started having to make sure that not a cent was wasted because it cost a zillion bucks to put it out there. They can afford to get things wrong too, because, if its a failure, that means that nobody will have seen it, unlike a broadcast ad where failure is a very public and expensive screw up. We're about to have a whole new generation of material coming direct from the producers (that's them, [whoever "they" happen to be,]) to the customer/viewer/audience (that's you.) Who needs a network meting out temporary access to a limited resource for lots of "shekels" when you've got an internetwork spreading access to everybody all the time for damn near "free"? ---- "Last Of The Superhereoes..." by: "American Heartbreak" http://www.americanheartbreak.com/ "Conclusion:" So I'm not bothered by the coming of the beer ads and other multi-national mass market product campaigns because there's plenty of space for me to interject myself as a content aggregator putting together shows featuring tunes for you, my audience, and supported by people who want to reach people like you, my audience. And though I know the statistics on this disease, I am still saddened by the fact that I am getting more downloads per day, every damn day.

Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Against the Grain" by: "Colie Brice" http://coliebrice.com/ "Thesis:" Here to regale us all is Shauna. ---- "Every Grain of Sand" by: "James Thomas La Brie" http://www.geocities.com/jamesthomaslabrie "Synthesis:" As I stated in my last column I was diagnosed with MS in 1998. My right side was affected leaving me unable to hold a pen or brush my teeth effectively or even tie my shoes. I had another attack 18 months later that hit the left side of my face, leaving me with a lopsided smile and a lisp. My third attack was last August and was a recurrence of my initial symptoms but to a much lesser degree. Throughout the past 10 years I have had to deal with extreme fatigue and on occassion some pretty intense pain. I estimate that I have recovered 97% of what I lost with each attack. My purpose in writing this column is to educate folks about MS, publicize the MS Bike Tour, and solicit funds for this cause. I am not the poster child for MS, though an argument could be made that I should be the poster child for best case scenario for MS. MS has given me a number of things for which I am grateful. One of those things is discovering cycling. Over the years I have tried different sports and physical activities to keep active but have never really "gotten into" anything. I never experienced a runner's high or felt really great and energized after a workout. I did not like exercise. And exercise seemed to do little for me. As a kid I had a bike and rode it eveywhere. I even rode a little bit in my 20s. But two years ago at the age of 42 I took it up again to encourage my boyfriend's training for the 2006 Rona MS Bike Tour. In a matter of days I was hooked. Within weeks I was cycling every chance I could, even if I only had time for a 5 k ride, I went out. I wasn't fast, or graceful, and probably looked pretty dorky, but it was soooooooooo much fun. And I was coming home sweaty and muddy (with any luck I'd find a puddle to go through) which was a bonus. It meant that I was getting a good workout (the sweaty part) and enjoying it (the muddy part). I liked exercise for the first time in my life. I was also energized from the activity and not worn out. My weight didn't change as I was building muscle mass and losing fat at the same time, but I looked and felt great. As an added bonus to the biking I was exploring trails around the HRM. I'm a nature nut, so was able to put together a little kit for collecting specimens of insects I wanted to inspect up close. It all fits into a pack on the pannier. Butterflies, moths, and beetles were within reach. Not to mention the toads and frogs I could catch to take a closer look (then let them go). I live in Bedford so it's nothing for me to hop on the bike at Hammonds Plains road and cycle to the Superstore, pick up the Bedford Sackville Connector Trail to Sackville and back for a good 14 k ride after work. After travelling this trail for a while I became involved with the Sackville Rivers Association which is another bonus for me. We go out to do repairs on rivers and streams in the watershed and that leads to discovering more trails I can bike. And more creatures for me to investigate. I had been itching to get on the bike again and so ventured out twice recently. The harsh winds and subsequent snow have driven me inside again but not for much longer. I've got warm bike pants, a fleece band to cover my ears, and goggles and I'm not afraid to use them. ---- "Waves Of Grain" by: "Two Gallants" http://www.twogallants.com/ "Conclusion:" I stayed out of her way and let her speak her piece. Let me live...

The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... This week, or this episode at least, the videos at the front on the sites of the blog and of the podcast are concerned free markets and their limitations. We are all too well aware of what happens when market principles are applied to non-markets, like health care (it quickly becomes health-"don't"-care,) the military (it quickly becomes the murky stuff of "Blackwater",) and other mercenary outfits from the beginning of empires that found themselves stretched too thin to fight and eventually ended up too conquered to bother fighting. The bloody history of the United States should have served as an object lesson in that. Remember the "Hessians"? [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_%28soldiers%29 ] Yet here we are again, about to make the same mistake that has unraveled every empire since the Mesopotamians. ---- "Lotus" by: "Mister Ed" http://www.mobilarts.net/index.php?cPath=1_6_45 Feed Forward comes next, so...

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Illusions" by: "Tracey Helen" http://cdbaby.com/cd/thg "Thesis:" You know, I'm sick of all these liberal left-wing nut cases going on about "the media" being owned by only a very very small plutocracy. (And "No, I'm not talking about Popeye's nemesis".) In fact the plutocracy is expanding, just nowhere as fast as the general population. This has for effect shrinking the relative size of the plutocracy. So the size of the pool of ruthless, thoughtless, rich and powerful is smaller than the population that can be found in many world capitals. So the size of the great unwashed masses dwarfs them by about six hundred thousand to one. (There's less than one thousand families who really count on this planet. The rest of us are merely cannon fodder and bullet shields.) The unwashed masses don't matter a whit to the plutocrats as long as they stay quiet and keep on buying and keep on paying for the excesses of the plutocrats and their families. (Can anyone think of a single use for "Paris Hilton" or any of hordes of her ilk? Not even as an object lesson for the youth of the nation. So why is so much ink devoted to her? As a "distraction". [She's cannon fodder too. {Or she would be if she bulked up and knew dick about handling a weapon. (She's a bullet shield.)}]) Tell me something I don't know... ---- "The Raft Of the Medusa" by: "Dean Madonia" http://www.deanmadonia.com/ "Synthesis:" Crying that the media are biased is without a doubt the self serving "crie-de-coeur" from anyone who is not currently on the "Rolodex" [ http://www.rolodex.com/ ] of any newspaper editor or station manager, (regardless of the political or sexual predilection of either or both.) They don't even know what media bias means. They might think it means the effect of some or other political cabal but its far uglier and more pernicious than that. Literally pernicious, as in "Tending to cause death or serious injury." Ignorance, of the kind perpetrated every friggin' day by our media, tends to "cause death or serious injury". But, unlike MS, it is easily curable. Rather than "take up arms against a sea of troubles," its much wiser to side-step the issue altogether and "jujutsu" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujutsu ] our way to our goal for a cure by using the fringe capabilities for distributing media from source to destination of the internet. By using the current producers of products, goods and services, the people who are currently motivated by profit, and providing them with an opportunity to profit. "Sun Tzu"[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu ] in the "Art of War" [ http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War_%28Sun%29/Full_Text ] lays out all kinds of stratagems for seeing a battle before and planning. I am especially mindful of the last stanza of "Section III: Attack by Stratagem": "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Since the enemy, "ignorance", is, by definition, "fundamentally unknowable," I opt for a strategic "retranchement" and for using the tools at hand for my own best advantage. For that, I am mindful of the last line of the previous stanza: "He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign." As long as the plutocrats can see that their plans are not being interfered with, my own plans will not be interfered with, because it would result in them making less money, and that would conflict with their own prime directive.

Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme...

Wed, 28 May 2008 msb-0307 The Meaning Of Economics.. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... I'm still thinking of cutting the tail down to the last two or three months. Unless I hear from you, I will get rid of everything else. What do you think? Drop me an email Charles at MSBPodcast.com. And today the music is computer based, in one way or another. I felt "techno". So sue me. I'm featuring select YouTube videos on the "website" [ http://www.msbpodcast.com/ ] to send some of you from the iTunes from downloads back to the website. (Okay... about 85% of you are getting them from the web already, but I seem to discover another site where I'm listed every week so I'm wondering where you actually heard about this podcast from.) ---- "Computer Bitch" by: "Blood Bank" http://bloodbank.ideasdigital.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" I am inviting you to log into the "wiki" [at http://wage.packet.org/ ] and help flesh it out, rather much like I am, and to add things as you discover them. ---- "Computer Nation" by: "Voide" http://www.voide.net/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Computer Blues" by: "Ken Tucker and James Swafford" http://www.myspace.com/jamesswafford "Thesis:" I'm still reading the book about producing video podcasts. (Its called "Producing Video Podcasts: A Guide for Media Professionals" by "Richard Harrington and Mark Weiser" ISBN: 978-0-240-81029-4.) Producing video is extremely expensive, labor intensive and, to be honest, it wouldn't bring me a thing more. Now, for the advertisers, they'll probably want to take advantage of video to demonstrate their products. On this podast, they "can". Podcasting is the only game in town for which they can get a seat at the table. (Someday, I promise. Its bound to happen. Podcasting is just severely unknown right now and my "No Play, No Pay" ad delivery model is "orders of magnitude cheaper" than the current broadcast "Scatter-shot"model. In fact its so much cheaper that I believe it may suffer from a credibility gap. But its the same gap they crossed when going to "Google AdSense" and Google is now rolling in cash. [Even if it is only in US Dollars. :-]) ---- "Duet for Computer and Human" by: "Superboom" http://www.renboy.com/superboom "Synthesis:" I must sound like a strange duck, quacking on about the need for socialized medicine on some posts while, uh, parroting, my faith in the capitalist system and in competition in some others. The two views are "not" incompatible. "Comparative Advantage" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_advantage ] and "Social Responsibility" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_responsibility ] are "not" mutually exclusive goals. This time, I'd like to focus on comparative advantage. If you compare traditional broadcast advertising, or even that which is available on cable stations or networks, podcasts are so much more focused that they almost totally avoid the "tyranny of the masses". That focus is a feature they share with traditional print media, but with none of the disadvantages of having to produce a dead tree issue, ship it to the subscriber or to retail outlets, deal with returns and so on... Not to mention that a great many specialized journals eschew, or are precluded by clauses in their charters or because or tax advantages from, accepting commercial advertising. And more power to them. I would be be a little leery of research published in a "for profit" journal which solicits ads. (Its a systemantic truism that the very function of keeping a journal alive with advertising interferes with its function as a journal.) But that still leaves two needs unfilled: 1. the needs of the advertiser to get the word out about the product, good or service, 2. the needs of the consumer to hear about the existence of a product which can fill a need which has remained unfilled and possibly unarticulated. While Google and I can fill the first need, and charge for the privilege, and fill the second need for a "known condition", Google can't suggest that a condition being felt might not be normal and that there might be something that can be done about it. Furthermore, Google is not going to further define the need by possibly devoting some time and episodes to it and handling feedback from an audience. I this respect, podcasting is superior at filling its niche. ---- "Computer Chips" by: "aegis" http://www.virb.com/aegis "Conclusion:" For makers of products, goods and services that "don't" have the benefit of a large market, which means anybody who's not a well established maker of something with broad appeal, podcasting is really the smartest play. Unlike Google Ad Sense which can direct ads for competing good and services, podcast ads can inform and suggest goods and services for something that is "not" being searched for but may be needed in the marketplace. If you play your cards right, like with my "No Play, No Pay" content distribution model, it can also be the right size for whatever market size you're in. Now for one last piece of techno music... ---- "Dreamcomputer" by: "Ibrahim Reevy" http://music.download.com/ibrahimreevy/3600-8261_32-100598738.html Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Computer Bitch" by: "Blood Bank" http://bloodbank.ideasdigital.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Computer Nation" by: "Voide" http://www.voide.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Computer Blues" by: "Ken Tucker and James Swafford" http://www.myspace.com/jamesswafford album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Duet for Computer and Human" by: "Superboom" http://www.renboy.com/superboom album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Computer Chips" by: "aegis" http://www.virb.com/aegis album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Dreamcomputer" by: "Ibrahim Reevy" http://music.download.com/ibrahimreevy/3600-8261_32-100598738.html album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

The Atlantic is the name of an ocean. So shouldn't it be called "The Atlantic Paddler"? :-) ---- "Wailing Paddle" by: "The Rudiments" http://www.asianmanrecords.com/bands/rud.html "Synthesis:" Today, "The Atlantic Pedaler" [ http://www.atlanticpedaler.com/ ] published the first of my columns on biking with MS. The series is a look at how I came to be physically active and my involvement with cycling as recreation as well as exercise. Ken is the publisher of this e-zine and if you are interested in cycling in Atlantic Canada it's free to register. It also has cycling stories from other parts of the world. Here's my first column. If it weren't for having MS, I wouldn't be a cyclist. Ken kindly asked me to write about my experiences with cycling and having MS, so until the bike tour I'll be writing a regular column about this illness, my journeys with my bikes, and how I've become a recreational biker. In January 1998 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. For the past 10 years I have been extremely lucky to have had little effect from this disease and hopefully it will continue to just remain fairly benign. Since my diagnosis I have been a volunteer with the MS Society Atlantic Division in many capacities, mostly as a speaker or MC at events like the Super Cities Walk. Last year, though, I participated in the Rona MS Bike Tour, biking 100 k over two days. Considering that I had been a couch potato until the year before that, it was a great accomplishment. I also managed to raise over $15,000 for the MS Society in the process. My quest to ride began when my boyfriend, John, decided to ride in the 2006 bike tour. I said I would train with him so I hit the gym for two months before even getting on a bicycle. I have never been exercise-friendly; even going for a walk was difficult as I would easily be distracted by bugs, rocks, plants, and anything of that sort, stopping to inspect anything of interest to my nature-loving mind. Two months at the gym and it was time to get a bike. A Canadian Tire Supercycle seemed like a good place to start (after all, I had those as a kid) so I got one - a mountain bike. I soon discovered that biking was my sport. We hit the trails around HRM (Halifax Regional Municipality)and pretty soon it was nothing for me to do 20k rides. And I was beginning to think that a 100 k ride for me was feasible. John did the bike tour in 2006 and I signed up to do the one in 2007. We biked after the tour including a trek to Jack's Lake in Bedford where I had my first fall off the bike. I was so proud of my "battle scars" that I got more a couple of days later doing the Whopper Dropper in Bayer's Lake. The physical activity was proving to be a good thing for me and my MS. I was getting in shape. Riding in the woods or on trails was a mind clearing activity. And I was addicted to riding. Going down rock strewn hills at top speed was a little disconcerting to the boyfriend, mind you. He had visions of having to explain to my parents why I was in hospital with broken bones. MS can play havoc with your internal temperature gauge. I would over heat quite easily and that would zonk me out too fast so I began searching for something to help keep me cool (besides the tons of water I was drinking). I had a neck bandana that I put in cold water before a ride. The gel beads in the bandana would swell and retain the water, so that helped. But there was nothing out there I could put in my helmet to keep my head cool. If my head is cool, the rest of my body follows that lead. Then I discovered the inserts road crews wear under their helmets. One of those would work! I found a company that sold them, but only in cases of 12. A great guy (Stan) at K and D Pratt managed to get me a sample from the company that makes them. What a great invention! As you all know, riding a mountain bike on pavement is tough going. So I decided to continue to train with it but was going to get myself a touring bike, too, for the actual Bike Tour. Christmas came and I got myself a Specialized touring bike from Cyclesmith. I also got a trainer so I could keep cycling until the weather cleared a little bit. I also had to undertake fundraising. A friend I ran into one day donated $5,000! He had been looking for something for a tax break and my timing was impeccable. I harrassed my friends, neighbours and co-workers for another 5 grand. The weather improved and pretty soon I was taking the bike out after work and on the weekends John and I would do 20-30 k rides on the trails. And we would bike with teammates from our team, the Cycledelics. A few days before the tour, my generous friend called me to ask if I wanted another $5,000. Of course! Suddenly I had $15,000 for the Bike Tour. I was walking on air, my excitement level was almost unbearable. I was going to do this. I was going to bike 100k! Two nights before the tour I had an "almost" panic attack. What if the heat got to me? What if I couldn't bike those hills? What if, what if, what if....I think the adrenaline rush I had experienced for an extended period of time just overwhelmed me. I calmed myself down by saying, "I'm just going for another bike ride" and pretty soon it was the morning of July 28th. I had decided to head out right away on the route as it was going to be very hot and I wanted to take advantage of the early morning coolness. Good thing, too, as the temps were at 30 by 11 in the morning. I left Windsor at 8:10 after registration and arrived at Acadia at 12:15. I had been worried about Mount Denson, but that wasn't a tough hill. It was the last hill from the Gaspereau to the top of Ridge Road that almost did me in. I ended up walking the last 100 metres to the top and cruised down the last little bit into Acadia. I did it! It took me 4 hours and more than 3 litres of water but I did it. The next morning I would do it in reverse. In the pouring rain. Glorious, cool, wet rain that soaked me completely and kept my body at a very comfortable temperature. I had a tire flatten as I was pulling into the rest stop in Hantsport, but after it was fixed, I set out again. The return was a little slower for me and some of my teammates caught up with me, so a bunch of us were able to cross the finish line together. I did it! Former couch potato and person with MS. An athlete! I am signed up again for this year's tour so I'm on a quest to fundraise. If you'd like to contribute to my quest, click on the link for fundraising.

Sun, 25 May 2008 msb-0305 Why I Don't Want To Do Videointro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... I'm in a pensive mood these days. I've got over 70,000 downloads and I'm wondering who you all are. (talk about the long tail of podcasting, some of my shows are over a year old and they're still getting downloaded off of the web, [Podcasting it truly wonderful but I'm thinking of cutting the tail down to the last two or three months.]) What do you think? Drop me an email Charles at MSBPodcast.com. ---- "Video Virus" by: "Nalts" http://www.willvideoforfood.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop me an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" I am inviting you to log into the "wiki" [at http://wage.packet.org/ ] and help flesh it out, rather much like I am, and to add things as you discover them. And some good news (though the drug trials are about as fast a molasses in January, [but its better than the alternative,]) about "ingestible" as opposed to "injectable" drugs therapies for MS. For more info, you can go to "Health Talk | Multiple Sclerosis" "podcast/webcast" [ http://www2.healthtalk.com/go/multiple-sclerosis/webcasts/no-more-needles-an-update-on-pills-to-treat-ms ]. Okay they're a day late and a dollar short in my case but it still great that they're addressing the resistance to self-injection. (Like they said. "The patients sometimes get up and say: 'I just can't do it anymore. That's it! I just can't!' ") Its not an inhalable, but at least its not another injectable. ---- "Small Video" by: "dfg" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=a1a9729b1aa7718d088add008b1d0550 Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "02 Videotape" by: "the priddle concern" http://thepriddleconcern.com/ "Thesis:" I'm reading a book about producing video podcasts. The book is called "Producing Video Podcasts: A Guide for Media Professionals" by "Richard Harrington and Mark Weiser" ISBN: 978-0-240-81029-4. I can see the allure of it but I can also see why I don't want to do it except for very special occasions and under very specific circumstances. Face it, even the best video recording of a wedding has an extremely limited distribution, is just more crap to toss out when you get divorced (or hang on to so you can get maudlin, hug your knees to your chest and chow down on a quart of "Häagen-Dazs®" once a year when you try to remember "The Good Times.©®™") and apart from the parties involved, nobody cares. You've got either the perennial favorites of self-help instructional films, (like those great old embarrassing animations about "Perry Penis and Vicky Vagina" that they made the entire school troop into the gymnasium to watch, in lip service to sex education,) or you've got entertainment movies and other ephemera which soak up your attention for a little while and, as "Tom Lehrer" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Lehrer ] put it all those years ago, "help you relieve your drab, wretched little lives." (Incidentally check out the Flash animation by "Mike Stanfill" of Tom Lehrer's song "The Elements". [ http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html ]) No ... I'll stick to audio. Least, I don't have to get dressed up to entertain you. :-) ---- "Beta Video Tape Head" by: "SOL 3" http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada "Synthesis:" Video is orders of magnitude more than I need to deliver on my goal of carving out a niche where there was none before, in the wall of human apathy and greed. (Its not that I haven't thought thought of it but that its vastly more complex and vastly more expensive.) Just like architecture isn't about the buildings, its about the space between the walls, the moving image isn't about the subject, its about the play of light on its surfaces. Music is about the interplay of sound and your imagination and, once that imagination is engaged, its about imagery, even entirely inappropriate imagery. I have a nice home-office and while its not perfect, it can do adequately to record my shows. (And interview are just an internet Skype connection to one of my computers.) But I would have to rent a warehouse to be able to record the same kind stuff that I do in my little 11 foot wide by 17 foot long by 8 foot tall office. The minimum amount of space to professionally record a two person interview, (like I did recently with "Joel Goldman" [ http://www.joelgoldman.com/content/index.asp ] and a long time ago with "Allison Reynolds" [ http://netxperiment.com/wordpress/ ],) eats up more space than the width of my whole condo. I'd need a soundproof and sound baffled room about 25 feet wide by 15 feet deep and at least 8 feet high, but preferably higher, from one backdrop (or wall) to the other, with: * a 300 Watt Fresnel light about 5 feet from "both end walls", * shining through "cookie" lenses, * onto the backdrops, * a 5 foot square "conversation pit" in the center of the space with, * two chairs opposite each other with * a 100 Watt Fresnel spot shining on the back of "both" subjects, * a rack of pole-mounted incandescent on one side of each subject and * a bounce board on the other side, and then * two cameras about 7 feet back of the subjects * both of which are Lavalier miked, prepped, made up and dressed. You're out thousands of dollars in equipment and people time (the latter being actually more valuable, [you can always reuse the equipment,]) and you haven't said a friggin' word yet. And that's just what you need to record a simple, easy-as-pie video set up for a simple, easy-as-pie interview. And we haven't even covered the audio recording, which requires a two track recorder, an editing suite, some form of mastering set up and production equipment to slice and dice the raw footage you've recorded and put into a show format. (What? You don't think what you see is what was shot, do you? It gets cut up; segments get reordered; some music may get dropped in in between the segments; commercials or sponsorship advertisements may get interspersed in between them. All of those shots of the host nodding sagely and pretending to look interested are pre-recorded to cover up editing out of prolonged "uhhs", "emms", "dohs", nose-picking "Brain Farts" and other, uh, mental "faux pas" from either chair. Many of the host's segments may get cut out of the show entirely if the guest is truly interesting. [Then you better hope it even gets on the air. {That last step is not a problem with podcasting.}]) ---- "videogamez" by: "deceptakahn" http://deceptakahn.com/ "Conclusion:" In audio, I sweat the songs, the text of the show the segments some of which are obviously prerecorded, and you can listen without me having to worry about getting a sponsorship from "Perry Ellis", [ http://www.perryellis.com/ped/index.jsp?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=perry%20ellis ] or "Yves St. Laurent". [ http://www.ysl.com/us/en/onlineBoutique/Men.aspx ] I'll stick to audio podcasts for now, thank you very much. That way I can bring you things like the "wiki" and not go broke trying to merely look good. ---- "Videology" by: "The Digital Motion" http://www.download.com/digitalmotion Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Video Virus" by: "Nalts" http://www.willvideoforfood.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Small Video" by: "dfg" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=a1a9729b1aa7718d088add008b1d0550 album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Videotape" by: "the priddle concern" http://thepriddleconcern.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Beta Video Tape Head" by: "SOL 3" http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "videogamez" by: "deceptakahn" http://deceptakahn.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Videology" by: "The Digital Motion" http://www.download.com/digitalmotion album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Sun, 25 May 2008 msb-fr-0013 Encoreintro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Au fait, le programme est dédié a vous, donc je me la ferme. ---- "I'm Here" par: "LiVahn" http://www.myspace.com/foxsknobrecording À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Falling Apart" par: "LiVahn" http://www.myspace.com/foxsknobrecording À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé... Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Long Road" par: "LiVahn" http://www.myspace.com/foxsknobrecording "Thèse:" Comme j'ai déja dis, le programme est dédié a vous.

Mais c'est "ma" limitation, et non celle de la technologie dont je me sert. Si vous avez besoin de vidéo pour dire n'importe quoi a n'importe qui, faitent comme chez vous et créez un vidéo. J'ai aussi crée un "wiki" [ http://wage.packet.org ] pour qu'on puisse déposer toutes nos connaissances et j'ai ouvert un compte sur "Twitter" [ http://www.twitter.com/msbpodcast/ ] ou l'on peut envoyer de court messages pour rester en contact. Vous n'avez qu'a me suivre ("Follow") et vous pouvez voir tous les messages qui me croisent entre les pattes. ---- "The Argument" par: "LiVahn" http://www.myspace.com/foxsknobrecording "Conclusion:" J'espère que vous viendrez prendre avantage et que vous vous joinderez a MSBPodcast.

After watching the cyclone news from "Myanmar" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burma ] (the country formerly known as "Burma", home of a xenophobic, self-congratulatory, inept, bumbling and murderously idiotic military regime,) and the earthquake news from China, I have "nothing" to complain about. As I sit here in my dry, intact, almost affordable condo, hundreds of feet above sea level, on a solid piece of one of the most stable land masses on earth (its stable, but its not the "Nullarbor" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nullarbor_National_Park ] plain of Australia,) in a land without bombs going off, where there are more people killed by their own stupidity than by guns and where hate crimes are the laughably inept knocking over of gravestones, I "really" can't complain. ---- "Blue Days" by: "2AM" http://www.2amband.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so...

Apart from me describing my symptoms and how I'm coping with them, you "won't" hear me pretend that "I'm" any sort of a doctor. There are a lot of reasons for that, chief among these is the fact that I respect you too much to lead you astray, and I hope you respect me too much to ask me to work miracles. The best I can hope to achieve is to work towards some redress of the underrepresentation in the media that MSers all "also" suffer from. ---- "8 Days Down" by: "Jen Elliott" http://www.citycanyons.com/jenElliott/index.html "Synthesis:" We've got a real problem we MSers, we one in twelve hundred, we 0.0833% of the population. (Apart from the obvious, I mean. Yes, we got clobbered by a bus with the license plates MS. Shit happened. And we're all trying to "get over it", thank you very much.) But its a problem we share with the remainder of the 15% of the population that the World Health Organization, (the W.H.O.) estimates is disabled. Apart from very infrequent guest spots on "Oprah" or as the tragic love interest to some or other cinematic or TV hero, we're an invisible minority. Oh there are all those curb cuts that the FedEx and UPS men use to move their dollies from the street to the sidewalk and all those spots that people aren't "supposed" to park their God damn cars in ("Yeah, lady in the green Jaguar. I would have parked my car there but you were where you had no business. If I could've, I would've parked right behind you, but I would have been blocking traffic, and two wrongs don't make a right.") But we, the handicapped, never mind the MSers, are all but forgotten in the media that's made for the other 85%. "That" is why I was so taken with "Joel Goldman" [ http://www.joelgoldman.com/content/index.asp and http://media.libsyn.com/media/msb/msb-0287_Shake_Down.m4a ] and his fictional hero "Jack Davis." If I had the time and the talent, I would write a character with MS into a piece of fiction concerning a possible aftermath of 9/11. But, sadly, I don't. We want for heroes and heroines who can act as role models for us, the 15%ers. (Face it, when's the last time you saw a "Marlee Matlin" movie? [ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0559144/ {and her handicap is not at all visible. Its not even audible until she opens her mouth to speak. (Its not like having to watch her struggle with a cane. Then I don't care how cute you are, boyfriends are dust trail vanishing in the distance.)}]) I'm not going to denigrate the everyday heroes who triumph every day by getting up and doing the things that the 85%ers do without a thought, but I do feel we're too invisible for our own good. The blogs and the podcast are here to remind us that we "are" here, that we "do" exist, "if anybody reads them", and I'm no "Gutzon Borglum", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutzon_Borglum ] but I'm trying to carve out of the solid granite in people heads a "Mount Rushmore" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rushmore ] with "our" faces on it. And so I keep on using "Wikipedia" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page ] to inspire you and I keep "Twittering" [ http://twitter.com/msbpodcast ] to try and build a network of people like you. Its not competitive, its collaborative. And we're all the stronger for it. ---- "My Yesterdays" by: "Eddie Ramirez" http://www.eddie-ramirez.com/ "Conclusion:" I've had people complain to me that I don't seem to have a lot of medical information on this podcast. Apart from me describing my symptoms and how I'm coping with them, you "won't" hear me pretend that "I'm" any sort of a doctor. And that's not likely to change.

Tue, 20 May 2008 msb-0303 Its Wednesday, Its Shauna's Show ;-)intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... Good grief, things take a long time to coordinate. I'm as frustrated as ever. So the theme this time is a little Latin music. "Andele andele, arriba!" ---- "Me Llaman Calle" by: "Manu Chao" http://www.myspace.com/manuchao Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop me an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" I am inviting you to log into the "wiki" [at http://wage.packet.org/ ] and help flesh it out, rather much like I am, and to add things as you discover them. ---- "Chica In A Hurry" by: "ATL Producers" http://www.atlproducers.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Begin The Baiao" by: "Kerry Politzer" http://www.kerrypolitzer.com/ "Thesis:" May the saints that look out for fools and little children give me the patience, the strength and wisdom that I need to sit on my hand as I wait and wait for things. Here is Shauna to regale us with yet another tale of how the extremely uncapitalistic, undemocratic and authoritarian meritocracy (mostly ... I "do" listen to Tom Wisker on "Weaponry" [ http://wbai.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=336&Itemid=142 ] at WBAI so that colors my views,) ahem, that is the U.S. military is coping with, returning as they are, people severely injured fighting in the two wars on the far side of the world. ---- I'm convinced that we should stay in touch with Twitter. It would save me so much heartburn and worry. [Its like my friend the SysAdmin with his ailing mother who would have made life, both his and mine, so much easier with a few Tweets.]) Now I only have the Amazon Ads thingy to get up and running on the "wiki". [ http://wage.packet.org ] Everything else, Google Maps, YouTube videos and the Calendar extensions are running. (And if you find some more [at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/Extension: ] that you think would be a benefit to us all, fell free to drop me an "email" at charles at MSBPodcast.com.) Now enough yakking from me and lets get back to some music and to Shauna. ---- "Maria Marisol" by: "Los Gallos" http://www.losgallos.com/ "Synthesis:" When I was diagnosed with MS I asked my docs about supplements or a specific diet that might help. I was told that the typical low fat high, fiber route was the way to go, that there was little in the scientific literature to support one diet or another. My family doc recommended that I use sunflower seed oil when cooking, as that oil might aid with the regrowth of myelin that had been destroyed. As far as other supplements and vitamins go, I sometimes take vitamin D, calcium and magnesium, as I know for a fact I don't get enough of those in my regular diet and living in the Northern hemisphere I am robbed of any helpful sunlight for several months of the year. I also take fish oil and Vitamin C, only during the winter. I used to go for massage therapy on a fairly regular basis, as we have two schools in my city that offer "neuro clinics" conducted by students, so they're inexpensive. And the students are supervised. I stopped going when I felt the benefit for me was no longer what it used to be. I will go from time to time as the need arises. I am also embarking on a regime of yoga to supplement my biking as exercise. I am not a proponent of CAM, complimentary and alternative medicine, as there has not been enough scientific study of these methods of treatment. (Please don't send me links to "studies" by people or companies that have investigated their own product. They are not unbiased.) But, if you have a large study conducted by a reputable organization or institution, with a large sample size, large control group, and reproducable results, then let's talk. It's not that I don't believe that some of these treatments have merit. It just hasn't been demonstrated yet. I would be the first one to jump on the bandwagon if something worked. If you use CAMs and they work for you, then good. For you. Today, I read an "article" [ http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/03/army-bioenergy.html ] from "Wired" [ http://www.wired.com/ ] magazine. In it, the "author" details plans the U.S. Army has of offering money to researchers who study alternative therapies and treatments for trauma spectrum disorders including Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I am excited about this. Why? Well, first of all, the Defense Department "is dedicated to supporting evidence-based approaches to medical treatment and wants to support the use of alternative therapies if they are proven efficacious," notes a recently-issued request for proposals. One way or another the U. S. Army may be able to put to rest claims of CAM success or they may disprove those claims. What is the Army's bias? They want their personnel to be treated with something that works and possibly to be put back in an active role. They are willing to spend the money to find out if something works, whether it's transcendental meditation or art therapy or nutritional supplements to improve cognitive functioning. Secondly, medical science progresses in spurts, and we are at the beginning of another spurt with the war in Iraq, the conflict in Afghanistan, and the numerous other fights going on these days. Every time there is a major conflict on this planet we find new ways of injuring each other. As a result, military docs are on the forefront of treating the "new" casualties. The treatments they devise get passed along to the general public. After World War 1, the field of plastic surgery progressed very quickly. Men were returning from war, missing huge parts of their faces or bodies. As a result of the wounds that surgeons were facing, they developed new techniques of repair for the soldiers that were then applied to civilians. The docs fixed 'em, or tried to, then we civilians reaped the benefits. What benefits could there be for people like me, with MS? In the past, the study of the effects of injury has greatly increased our knowledge of how a body part is supposed to work. Traumatic brain injuries of soldiers may give us more insight into how our brain recovers and rewires, which is directly related to MS, stroke, and other neurological conditions. Unknowingly, soldiers will be contributing to our wealth of knowledge about function. And they will also contribute to our knowledge of treatment of dysfunction. The Army will be allocating $4 million for these studies. In the grand scheme of things, that's not a lot. But let's say 20 studies are approved and out of those 20, 3 are found to be quite promising. Those 3 would then be investigated further and so on. Perhaps the Army will discover a type of effective treatment previously dismissed because of inadequate research. I look forward to their findings, because we civilians will be the lucky recipients of the results. After the soldiers, of course.

I needed the distraction as I go back to waiting and waiting for those who decide to finally, uh, decide. This is as bad as waiting for my diagnosis. Actually, when I was diagnosed I was already bound for neuro-ICU, so the diagnosis was a kind of anticlimactic non-issue. So now, I'm a podcaster (though the the 85% of my audience who pick up my shows directly off of the web, I'm a webcaster.) ---- "Chile Relleno" by: "Ritchie Hernandez" http://www.myspace.com/ritchiehernandez Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Me Llaman Calle" by: "Manu Chao" http://www.myspace.com/manuchao album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Chica In A Hurry" by: "ATL Producers" http://www.atlproducers.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Begin The Baiao" by: "Kerry Politzer" http://www.kerrypolitzer.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Maria Marisol" by: "Los Gallos" http://www.losgallos.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Ala sola" by: "Daiki and Little Wings" http://daiki-soulcafe.blogspot.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Chile Relleno" by: "Ritchie Hernandez" http://www.myspace.com/ritchiehernandez album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... This is likely going to be a strange posting/podcast. (This is me. When "don't" I do strange? :-) This episode was caused by something I read on C|Net called "How Valuable Are You On Twitter"? [ http://www.news.com/8301-13772_3-9942297-52.html?tag=nefd.lede ] As it turns out, they miss the point entirely... :-) And I can still tell when some people join through iTunes and have it set to "download all episodes" because my downloads stats go a bit crazy for a few hours. But welcome anyway. My friend the SysAdmin's mom is sick and that's why the wiki's hadn't been updated. That points out on advantage of Twitter over email. Just a short Tweet to that effect would have served me a lot better than the weeks of me sending emails asking for status updates that never seemed to be coming with no explanation why not. Now that I know, I understand... There is no rush for the updates. I will be in beta for a while longer while I try to install them myself. When I was feeling like I was just left hanging, I was getting a little cross. ---- "Our Place Among" by: "Out Of The Cold" http://www.myspace.com/outofthecold Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share.

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "A Better Place" by: "tony vani and debbie hoskin" http://www.soulretrieval-cd.com/ "Thesis:" Well the Wiki beta is off to, ahem, a rousing start. (You're still very shy about leaving stuff. And yes, you have to register and make your updates after responding to an initial email. Its so far the only effective way to staunch the Niagara of "Viagara." You would not "believe" some of the spam I capture everyday, as these scum try to infest the blog and podcast rolls.) And how is this supposed to tie in to "Twitter" [ http://twitter.com/ ] exactly? The latter is a "stream" of consciousness (a "nexus" [ http://www.thefreedictionary.com/nexus ]) while the former is a "pool" of consciousness (a "locus" [ http://www.thefreedictionary.com/locus ]). Both are repositories of perceptions and information. Because of the majority of its users being desperate to say something in response the the question "What are you doing?", "Twitter" is a stream of mere babble instead of being status updates. "Doing" is the point. Very little thought seems to be given to "why" are you are doing what ever it is that you're doing. Wikis on the other hand are repositories of data, most which is meaningless, except that it is valuable to a select few who need it. ---- "Take me to this place" by: "Josh Lopez" http://www.joshlopez.com/ "Synthesis:" Twitter and wiki represent "nexi" and "loci" in the sphere of social networking. Wikis represent destinations in the communal collective collaborative brain while Tweets represent the "corpus callosum" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum ] of activities required to get from one idea to the next. Both are indispensable and both are complimentary in the same way that the "Eisenberg Uncertainty principle" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle ] is essential to quantum mechanics. (You can know the position or the momentum of a particle but never both simultaneously because knowledge of one removes knowledge of the other.) I hope that MSers use twitter to weave themselves into a wide social network and use the wiki as a destination for all of the information they care to share. I am of course aware of the "impedance mismatch" [ http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/impedance.htm ] between myself, as a for profit, (eventually, some day, I hope, please, :-) and the various associations out there, who have a lot riding on their "not" making any money. Now they have their own limited advertising, carried by their affiliated or associated publications, but they tend to be extremely constrained. Some of the state and local ones can't (not "wont" but "can't") carry any ads for stuff that their state or chapter local merchants make or carry to help out their own members. That's why the wiki is an indispensable resource because anybody can join in and because its a destination, a sense of place, a "locus" in the myriad conversations, the "nexi" that we MSers carry on in the process of living out lives. Here's an example of a question that "all" of you could answer in the wiki "if" you already know the answer but that "none" of you can answer if you don't; if you haven't already had to walk that walk: "Where and when is the self-help group meeting in your neck of the woods?" Its a simple question ... but if you don't know, like the newly diagnosed, you need to know. Likewise when do they meet? Who all showed up? What did they talk about last month, the month before that, the month before that, who did they have as a speaker, (yaddah, yaddah, yadah...) Check out the "wiki". [ http://wage.packet.org/ ] Its got the self help groups for my town in there because I put it in there. Now how about you put yours in there? There's also calendars of events etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. :-) ---- "Replaced By Robots" by: "Lejeune" http://www.lejeunemusic.com/ "Conclusion:" I hope MSers start using Twitter to keep in touch and using the wiki for whatever the heck they want to, just keeping in mind what each is best at, for communication. ---- "A Better Place" by: "garyseven" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=a17e9684a7336d4e9b3fa4012b8fa81b Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Our Place Among" by: "Out Of The Cold" http://www.myspace.com/outofthecold album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "My Place" by: "Amy Ayres" http://www.amyayres.net/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com '"A Better Place" by: "tony vani and debbie hoskin" http://www.soulretrieval-cd.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Take me to this place" by: "Josh Lopez" http://www.joshlopez.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Replaced By Robots" by: "Lejeune" http://www.lejeunemusic.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "A Better Place" by: "garyseven" http://music.podshow.com/music/listeners/artistdetails.php?BandHash=a17e9684a7336d4e9b3fa4012b8fa81b album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Sun, 18 May 2008 msb-fr-0012 Trésorintro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Je construis un Wiki pour les SPcimens. It est encore en "béta" (a http://wage.packet.org ) et je dois admettre que j'apprend encore comment my prendre pour supporter les diffferentes langues. ---- "Treasure" par: "Alyssa Hendrix" http://web.mac.com/hxquarter/iweb À Vous suit...

Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé...

Mais la sclérose en plaques c'est une maladie relativement rare (seulement one personne sur douze cent en est affligée,) et le grand mégaphone des media, des magazines, de la radio et de la télévision, se fiche de nous. Nous sommes pas suffisament nombreux, et donc trop pauvres collectivement, pour mériter de leur attention. Mais sur l'internet, il est possible de connecter n'importe quelles deux personnes ensemble mais seulement si elle connaissait déja. Podcasting est le moyen de faire ces connaissances, ces rencontres, pour introduire ces individus, l'un à l'autre.

Fri, 16 May 2008 msb-0301 The Inequitable Distribution of Luck.. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... I just saw a video on "YouTube" [ http://youtube.com/watch?v=LHtNFZ6K0pE ] which I am featuring at the front of these posts. Its an hour long so sit in front of your computers on a comfy chair with a drinkable and your favorite munchable at hand because it is well worth watching. In it I found the phrase "The Inequitable Distribution of Luck", 24 minutes into it, which describes our situation to a tee. And yes, I will be referring to information on the "website" [ http://media.libsyn.com/media/msb/msb-0301 The Inequitable Distribution of Luck ] in an attempt to get you used to going to the web from inside these podcasts. There's more to these podcasts than just a sound file. ---- "stuck in an office" by: "Edmund's Crown" http://edmundscrown.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop us an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" ---- The wiki is out in beta on my "home server" [at http://wage.packet.org/ ] (I will eventually give it a real name, [ www.msbwiki.com, unless somebody sweeps in and steals it. {It doesn't matter if anyone does because we'll all be able to Google it, or get to it through links. (so I could call it by its IP address and it wouldn't matter,)}] we'll get some real bandwidth from an industrial strength server, and I'll put in any and all of the missing multi-media, Google and Amazon apps features. (I've even got myself a "Flip video" [ http://www.theflip.com/products.shtml ] to try out the multimedia portions. [Yup, you'll get to see my ugly mug.]) You're invited to come and hammer at it, make any changes you feel are required and have fun. (And don't worry. Every version of a page is kept, so I can always go back to an older version.) You will all be required to login and the verification will be done through email so we can eliminate all the spammers and other nasties. ---- I've been tasked by my "self-help group" [ http://wage.packet.org/mediawiki/index.php/UsaNewJerseyHudsonCountySelfHelpGroup ] of the local chapter of the "NMSS (National Multiple Sclerosis Society)" [ http://www.nationalmssociety.org/index.aspx ] to handle the notification of the media about the society's meetings. Press releases. They handed me a few sheets of paper stapled together. What the Hell do you want me to do with that? I immediately put them on the wiki, with hot-links to the local newspaper's and peoples' email addresses, (which I am still gathering, and adding in.) The press releases will be going out by email from now on and be a whole lot easier for the papers to handle and make "camera ready" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_ready ] for printing. ---- Maybe you will want to create your own pages, fill in your own calendars, guide people to your events through Google maps, take pictures or shoot videos of your own events. That's what the wiki's for... ---- And, just so's you don't think that I'm all talk and no action, I'm giving a lecture to the group in September about the web and the disabled, (and going to give away one of my old computers to help one person get connected.) I see the "OLPC" [ http://laptop.org/ ] (One Laptop Per Child) initiative as needing some expansion to OLPD (One Laptop Per Disabled) because the disabled need the internet every bit as much as, (and arguably they need it much more than,) the heathy. (In fact they need it to make the "differences" between differently abled people irrelevant, [just like the internet makes distance and time irrelevant.]) There is nothing quite as useless as information printed out on a piece of paper. Its all unlinked; devoid of context and, like us, quite pathetic when alone. But together, in a network, it (and we,) becomes part of a nexus of revelations, of relationships and connections. ---- "Post Office Jesus" by: "Little Fish Big Pond" http://myspace.com/littlefishbigpond Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Officer Downe" by: "Matt Mays" http://mattmays.com/ "Thesis:" "The Inequitable Distribution of Luck" is such a good phrase that I wish I had thought of it. (Or maybe I did as I was shlepping around Metropolitan College with my red cane studying "Vilfredo Pareto" and the "principles of economic efficiency" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_efficiency ] but never thought I ever use it again. :-) Getting MS is due not to the tyranny of place referred to in the video, but it is due to something far more random than that. Through sheer happenstance, I just got blindsided by a bus with the license plate "MS." ---- "Officer Barry" by: "Rich and Royal" http://www.richandroyal.com/ "Synthesis:" The inequitable distribution of luck tell us that, no matter well how one plans, strives, works for and even achieves in this life, the sad fact of it is that the odds are that 15% of the time, he (or she, [lets not be sexist here,]) is S.O.L. Now, if you're a captain of industry, you wish you could just jettison the burden of taking care of your employees and be able to focus on the bottom line. This burden is fiduciary and its interfering with your fiduciary responsibilities to your share holders. That's just an unfair legacy from the days of "Tricky Dick" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon ] when he was making a deal for "pals" he never knew he had, over at "Humana." [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humana ] Now that the HMOs aren't growing anymore and starting to pay out they're becoming an unacceptable burden on the corporations who aren't in the business of doing anything for people. So who's going to pay for health care? Well, if companies and corporations aren't going to write the checks, I guess if falls to the same people who write the checks for most of defense, most of transportation and most of the legal system. "Congratulations!" You've just arrived at a single payer national health care policy, by default. Unless you "want" to go back to the social situation of the sixties, where Kennedy and Johnson were struggling with forces that were just about revolutionary and people were dying left and right, once their life's savings had been wiped out, (and in this the "richest nation on earth", [we certainly weren't supposed to die like bloody bushmen living in bloody Papua-New bloody Guinea, {after being cannibalized.}]) Nah. I think a single payer system would streamline things and get rid of enough frau... uh, sorry, redundant, confusing, and error-prone systems, to leverage a great many more benefits from the system and rationalize the benefits for the current and for the future generations. (After all, once you've got everybody, there's nobody left, is there? [Well, there are always those outside the United States, like in the North American Union, the OAS, and South America, later you can go after some sort of harmonization with Europe and then there's ... well you get the idea. here's an entire planet to organize. No one should feel his ambitions are being thwarted...]) This new gummin agency doesn't make decisions except at a kind of macro level. Either it falls on one side of an overall cost/benefit analysis razor or it doesn't. Hey ... "Everybody" dies. Deal with it. (If you can't deal with it, I just hope you're rich enough to buy the few extra days, weeks or months that it would buy. ["Joe DiMaggio" died anyway and you know his estate got stuck with the bill.]) ---- "Office Suite, Part I" by: "the matthew show" http://www.thematthewshow.com/ "Conclusion:" I won't bemoan my fate (I could have been born a hundred years ago, in "Papua-New Guinea",) [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papua_New_Guinea ] but getting MS is still a bitchin' turn of events. "The Inequitable Distribution of Luck" isn't totally working ag'in' me though. I live "here", [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States ] instead of in Papua-New Guinea, now, instead of then, and you "are" reading/listening to my words.

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Behind The Mask" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ "Thesis:" We've got something unusual from Shauna this time, a movie review. In keeping with the number of the show episode, its about the movie "300" [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0416449/ ] (Which was a remake of "The 300 Spartans" [ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055719/ ] which I actually saw at the local "Bijou" theater in "Ville LaSalle" while it was descending into "kitch", "Sci-Fi", "Horror" and eventually a "porno theater" before being being put to a merciful death by a developer who turned it into a strip mall... "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" (Which means "So passes away the glory of the world", [ not "You don't wanna get in a car with Gloria".]) ---- "As long as I dont cry" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ "Synthesis:" I'm not a movie reviewer. I have to admit to having tried my hand at it a couple of times over the years, but Charles asked me to review 300 in celebration of his 300th MSB Podcast, so I consented. Full disclosure: my family doctor is of Greek descent and I lived in Montreal, where the movie was filmed. OK. so that wasn't really necessary, but I had to make mention of the Canadian connection and that was the only way I could do that. This is Sparta! So says King Leonidas to Xerxes' messengers. Imagine, those foreigners coming to Sparta and suggesting that King Leonidas submit to Xerxes. Well, Leo wanted nothing to do with that and since Xerxes was threatening to move in, he consulted with the Ephors (supposedly wise councillors), who in turn consult the Oracle. She tells everyone that Leo must stay home. Of course he doesn't. You don't threaten this man, his people, and his land. With 300 Spartan soldiers he marches to Thermopylae [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae ], the hot Gates. And that's where he takes his stand. He holds out for a couple of days, but in the end superior numbers and an angry hunchback defeat Leo and his 300 Spartans. There's a lot of gore, bloodshed, infidelity (though that was coerced), and a couple of traitors thrown into the mix. And the movie, though made with real actors, has the look and feel of a comic book, which was the intent. If you like comic books or you enjoyed Sin City, then you'll like 300. I enjoyed both Sin City and 300. Of course, the movie isn't entirely historically correct. But that's not the point. I believe the point was taking a stand for what you believe in and backing it up. Leo did that for sure. And here's where the parallels wih MS come in. This is my brain! That should be our rallying cry as MSers. As we begin to endure symptoms like numbness, tingling, paralysis, and vision disturbance, we don't want to submit to Xerxes-like invaders in our central nervous system. We consult our Ephors, our neurologists. They in turn consult the Oracle. Well, actually, they don't. But sometimes it seems like they do. The neuros suggest a course of treatment to keep Xerxes...I mean MS, at bay. And for some of us, we can make a stand for a long time. We may have to acquiesce to the symptoms from time to time, but there's no reason why we can't sand up to Xerxes for the rest of our lives. There's still a lot of fun and frivolity to be had. Rally the fun and frivolity like 300 Spartans to keep Xerxes' Persians from getting through the Hot Gates to your brain. ---- "House Of Dreams" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ "Conclusion:" Well, when I told Shauna that she was doing show #300, she certainly took the number to heart. And we're going to end with one more tune by "Strangers in Wonderland" who are a group from Sweden that I found while scavenging (which it sometimes feels like,) or panning for gold on the PMN (the Podsafe Music Network.) ---- "I like it" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "In my dreams" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Still standing" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "Behind The Mask" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "As long as I dont cry" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "House Of Dreams" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com "I like it" by: "Strangers in Wonderland" http://www.strangersinwonderland.com/ album: "none" via: http://music.podshow.com ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

One of the things about MS is that, amongst the circuits that have been fried in my brain and covered in non-conductive scars, are things called repressor or inhibitory circuits a.k.a. neurological pathways, which means that I really don't have a lot of patience left. As "Elvis" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Presley ] sang so ably all those decades ago: " (with an idea)I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree. I'm in love. I'm all shook up...

Radio is a competition for air time as much as, or perhaps even more than, it is a competition for your audience's attention. The competitiveness in the television industry is the stuff of "legend". [ http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=network&x=0&y=0 ] The "dog eat dog" nature of the competition for a scarce resource, in this case its the transmission tower, produces or elicits certain behavior which may not be in the best interest of the competitors. The interference of the intrusion of ads into the content which is carried over the air waves is also the stuff of "legend" [ http://www.clearchanneloutdoor.com/corporate/history.htm ] and the subject of many rants, both mine and those early ones of "Mark Yashimoto Nemcoff", [ http://www.markyoshimotonemcoff.com/pch/ ] (before he teamed up with somebody else and got all nice on us. :-). What I saw in a flash as I sat there listening to Adam Curry's "Daily Source Code" one morning, (or was it in the evening, with podcasting, it no longer matters,) as he was running a promotion for [name deleted by common sense, but it was a car company,] was an extremely efficient means of getting across a short message capable of getting people in the audience who would be interested in getting more information, in any media, of any duration, and that could be charged for. The justification for my charging for this content would be based on its commercial nature. Basically I was asking "Qui bono?" And that was who I was going to charge for access. ("Follow the money".) I am in an extremely limited market of people who don't have any money to waste on any superfluous things, like ad campaigns. What these people need is an extremely efficient way to get information across if, and only if, and when, but every time, its asked for. The "podcast ad" model allows the ad to become larger, to answer more questions, to in effect become content and to use the internet to podcast itself anywhere and at anytime. (I agree with "This Week In Media" [ http://www.pixelcorps.tv/this_week_in_media ] about making the ads the content of their own shows.) The "reminder ad" model, is roughly the same as exists now, except it has to be altered to allow for the long-tail of podcasting. A campaign can be run from a date to a date and its only function is to inform the audience of the "podcast ad". Its so much more efficient, I just want to strangle people who just don't "get it." ("Doh dee doh... Oh no... We'll just keep on wasting our money trying to hit a bullseye, on a receding target, with a dart, while blindfolded, tied to a spinning office chair, that's rolling down hill, towards the edge of a precipice.") (I'd get to watch an entire episode of "Numb3rs" without all the damn commercials.) ---- "Toxic To The Good Times" by: "Instar" http://www.instarmusic.com/ "Conclusion:" So I have to practice patience (and try to let people not see that I'm practically squirming in my seat.) People will eventually see that what was broken and unsatisfactory about the broadcast model on both sides of the transmitter (the ceaseless cacophony of shouting at those who will not hear because they aren't interested,) is fixed through the use of a ka-jillion podcatches whispering their messages into the ears of the ears of those people who are so interested that they've asked for and downloaded it. But its taking so "long", that I'm just going to jack up the price to what I feel I "should" have been charging and it'll cost about 10 times more.

Fri, 9 May 2008 msb-fr-0011 Jongleintro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme...

I live in the strange land where I can hope that how I felt when I got up is actually better than when I went to bed the night before. (Yeah... Sure...) Of course, I could be worse off too, but that usually takes longer to develop and gives me a period of "noisy skin" (Its the only way I can describe it. I lose definition in my tactile sense.) ---- "alone again version alone" by: "celine mastrorelli" http://www.myspace.com/mastrorelliceline "BI:" One of the most commonly reported symptoms is an impaired vestibular sense (screwed up balance,) combined with difficulty accelerating the leg muscles so they respond in time to the demands of walking... (Why do you think MSers have so much trouble getting around? Hey they would sell a lot of canes if only they could a make cool looking canes [mine is painted "traditional Chinese red") and took a look at their hands when holding a cane. (See your fingers, see the cane, bending in an arc in the opposite direction? I use a plastic pommel handle so my hand can grip and rest on the cane properly.) Another common symptom is phantom pain, where the sensation is felt where it isn't (sometimes, there is no sensation, so you end up going nuts trying not only to scratch where you don't itch but you don't even itch anywhere.) Then there are the loss of the fine motor coordination (that didn't stop me from learning to play the guitar, [and damn well too,] or to type, [but hand me a pencil and I'll give you such a look,]) the increased spasticity (which means that I have learned better than to carry a full anything,) the increased sensitivity to heat, (I don't fog up the bathroom mirror when I take a shower because I take cold or at best lukewarm showers. [That pretty much nixes, uh, conserving water, if you know what I mean. ;-]) Anything else is such a minor annoyance that I don't even notice. (So what gets under "your" skins? Drop me an email.

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Fire and Sea" by: "Kalliopi" http://www.kalliopi.eu.com/ "Thesis:" In modern times, a salamander is a warming or cooking tray on a chef's oven. Properly its called a "salamander broiler" [ http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-salamander-broiler.htm ]. It was also an "Arabic Alchemical symbol". [ http://www.blackdrago.com/alchemy.htm ] In wiccan beliefs the salamander is a creature representing fire. (I don't have a reference on the web for that. You'll just have to trust my memory of comparative religions.) But I think Shauna's story dates a lot further back than that. ---- "Fire It Up" by: "The Stone Coyotes" http://www.stonecoyotes.com/ "Synthesis:" A Salamander's Tale In Nova Scotia we have an incredible coastline. Each year it gives up more and more information about the geology of the land and what animals lived on it. The fossils people are discovering are fantastic and I've been lucky enough to have come across a few on my own. About 45 minutes from where I live, at low tide, you can walk out on the beach to a set of footprints thought to be 350 millions years old. Way cool! Though some doubt if they're actually footprints or if they're fin marks. If they are footprints, they were made by a giant salamander like creature. By giant, I mean by today's standard. I was told (by a geologist) that it was about 6 feet long. That'sa one-a big-a newt. No way would I have tried to pick that one up. Of course I pick up or attempt to pick various and sundry animals I come across, including salamanders. They are amphibians, related to frogs, and have a remarkable ability to regenerate limbs. As a matter of fact, if startled by what they think is a predator, their tail can just "let go" and become disconnected from the rest of the body. The tail wiggles like crazy so the predator goes after that and gives the animal enough of a chance to escape. A few years ago, a friend and I cultivated a garden in her backyard to grow vegetables. I must say I was really more keen on investigating the creatures that took up residence in the garden. One day, we discovered a group of baby salamanders, maybe 1 and a half to 2 inches long. I reached down to pick one up and the tail just popped right off. I picked up the salamander, apologized for scaring it unintentionally, then picked up the tail. I had it on the palm of my hand and watched it for about 10 minutes as it wiggled and squirmed. It was the most disconcerting thing, like a severed hand in a horror movie crawling along a floor, as it seemed to be powered by...nothing! It was just moving on its own. From the time I was a kid and had learned about this phenomenon, I was amazed by it. But until I was almost 40 had never actually seen it. I put the tail back on the ground, continued with the weeding and watering of the garden, and after twenty minutes went back to pick it up. As I did so, it started to move again! This thing had been disconnected from its "power" source for half an hour but still had some "juice" left in it. Wow! But again, disconcerting. It's kind of like how you'd feel if you unplugged your TV from the wall, but it suddenly came on again. Spooky. What is the power source for the tail? It's a combination of chemical and electrical activity. The length of time the "power" stays effective depends on the species of animal and it's size. That got me thinking about a chemical and power source for folks with neuronal damage due to spinal cord injury (SCI) or diseases like MS. I know they're experimenting with electricity to allow people to stand and walk again. I've seen the contraptions patients wear to electrically stimulate the legs to allow them to be mobile. (It's still fairly early in the game to make these things practical and cost effective for the general public, though there are types of TENS contraptions to help those not as severely affected as an SCI person) Last night I was speaking with a woman from the VON (Victorian Order of Nurses) at a fundraiser I was MCing for them. Mary and I had a wonderful talk last year, (at the same event) and last night we continued our chat of shared interest in science and nature. We talked of frogs and that led to salamanders. She's had some of the same ideas as me and went so far as to send an e-mail to the Christopher Reeve Foundation to inquire if they were investigating salamanders' amazing ability and what the implications were for human rehabilitation. She still hasn't heard back from them. But I'll bet dollars to donuts, it's going to be something as simple as a salamander's tail that solves the mystery of MS. ---- "Freeze in the Fire - Remastered" by: "Jeremy Row" http://myspace.com/jeremyrowe "Conclusion:" Shauna may be right. By the time we understand, "truly understand" how a salamander's tail regenerates, we may be able to aply the lessons learned to how we can regenerate our fried out nervous system and our trigger happy, though confoozled, immune system. ---- "The Fire's Light" by: "The Bulldogs" http://www.bulldogsinet.com/ Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Logic Kills The Fire" 520 784-8976 by: "amplifico" http://www.amplifico.net/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Fire Away" by: "Kill The Alarm" http://killthealarm.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Fire and Sea" by: "Kalliopi" http://www.kalliopi.eu.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Fire It Up" by: "The Stone Coyotes" http://www.stonecoyotes.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Freeze in the Fire - Remastered" by: "Jeremy Row" http://myspace.com/jeremyrowe album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "The Fire's Light" by: "The Bulldogs" http://www.bulldogsinet.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Mon, 5 May 2008 msb-0296 I Loathe This Video.. intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... I loathe the piece of crap video at the front of this post on my blog and podcast. Its the sort of over produced, over processed, over made-up over the top kind of video that's made to hypnotize you while shutting you up. It leaves you wanting for some sustenance after you've watched it. Its all "glamour" and glitz, in the darkest, cruelest, most debased and demeaning sense of the word "glamour". "Glamour" as used by those who fancy themselves as fairies and elves, and politicians, to deceive and to lie, to distract while they sharpen their knives. Painted-on faces atop painted-on bodies wearing painted-on outfits and painted-on expressions, gyrating to some meaningless beat; rhythmically pounding its empty noise, promising its empty pleasure. It stands for everything I "hate" about the industry. (I can't honestly call it the music industry.) Its porn for the ears. Actually, its not even that. If you just listen to it without the video and you suddenly hear a trite, innocuous, bland, very "little" pop tune, without any redeeming value. ---- On a positive "non bitchy" note, I'm finding a lot to like about twitter. (I'd be more reassured if it didn't go down like like a two dollar ... , (uh no, that's not an analogy I'd care to defend. :-) On a different note, they've been re-paving the road in front of the building. "Beep! Beep! Beep!" Every freakin' time one of these machines backs up. And they're everywhere. Its a cacophonous mess. How are you supposed to know if something's bearing down on you or it the fries are done? Recording the shows has been well nigh impossible when the sun's out. I never had to listen to this crap when I was a kid. Back then, I watched them build my suburb and the only sound was the thrum of diesel engines. Okay they were sometimes punctuated by occasional howls of agony and/or an odd note in the grinding noise of the machinery. But you renamed the street and moved on over the anthropic outline. (On the bigger roads, it was a stretch of highway renamed, say, the "Jimmie Hoffa Memorial Mile," and you got over it. [It saved a bunch on funeral expenses; you bet'cha. :-]) ---- "videogamez" by: "deceptakahn" http://deceptakahn.com/ Feed Forward comes next, so... This is "your" segment. Say "your" piece on this segment. Share with other MSers whatever "you" want to share. Drop me an email: "charles at MSBPodcast.com" Here you are. Further proof [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/04/business/04insure.html ] from the field, as if any was needed, that the health care system is badly broken. (Systemantically, [ http://generalsystemantics.com/Systemantics.htm ] it has reached the point where it begins to oppose its own stated function. [The only thing left to do is to stick a fork in it, 'cause its done.]) ---- "Video Virus" by: "Nalts" http://www.willvideoforfood.com/ Feed Me comes third, so... Do you have a therapy, product, good or service that is of interest to MSers? Consider advertising on this podcast. Reminders on this segment only cost $0.03 per reminder per download of an episode. (A $30CPM targeted at MSers.) It can/should lead to a full ad, in text, audio or video, which costs $3.00 per download. That sounds expensive until you do the math and realize that if nobody downloads it it costs you nothing, unlike print, where you often can't even get an ad in to the specialized journals, or radio or TV where you'd just be wasting your money with the 0.0833% MSers rate of return. (That's about six times "below" the level of "statistical noise".) But MSBPodcast is 100% in your market, and you only pay per download of your material. No play, no pay. Reach the MSers who would buy your therapy, product, good or service, with-out having to waste your advertising money on anyone who is "not" interested... Send us an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Videology" by: "The Digital Motion" http://www.download.com/digitalmotion "Thesis:" Before I get chastised for seemingly abandoning MS in my quest for world domination or some such grandiose scheme, let me say that while I have MS, I do not let it limit my perceptions (an ironic twist of both fate and words,) nor do I let it limit my ambitions. (Perhaps the triumph of optimism in the face of adversity.) ---- "Videotape" by: "the priddle concern" http://thepriddleconcern.com/ "Synthesis:" Its indeed unfortunate that I got MS. (Hell I might say its tragic that I have this disease.) But that's life; which is made up of the crap that splashes onto you while you go from being a cute, lovable infant (okay some have faces that only their mothers can love,) to a wizened old coot. Its certainly unfortunate that I am unable to pursue the possibilities of podcasting with the bloody mindedness and vigor that I have brought to other things, other pursuits in my life. I have always been fair, often been wise and never been somebody you'd want to screw with. (Its not that I'm physically imposing, its that I'll drive you to distraction while I drive straight to my goal. [I'm "not" one of those people who believe that "its not enough for me to win, you've got to know you've lost." {Frankly, I don't care if we "both" win, as long as "I get a prize." (Anything else is a waste of my time, [and time is the rarest and most valuable resource there is.])}]) ---- "Masks videomix" by: "Adhesion" http://evilresidence.com/adhesion "Conclusion:" While I have MS, it doesn't have me. I am still the driven, some would say megalomaniacal, character that I have always been. I was, am and will remain true to the "Toto La Terreur" persona I had as a three-year old. I have "always" been more than a little nuts and I'm not letting MS spoil that for me. Now enough techno, indie stuff, I wanna kick this up a notch and listen to a Canadian band while I knock off and have a beer. ---- "Beta Video Tape Head" by: "SOL 3" http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "videogamez" by: "deceptakahn" http://deceptakahn.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Video Virus" by: "Nalts" http://www.willvideoforfood.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Videology" by: "The Digital Motion" http://www.download.com/digitalmotion album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Videotape" by: "the priddle concern" http://thepriddleconcern.com/ album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Masks videomix" by: "Adhesion" http://evilresidence.com/adhesion album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Beta Video Tape Head" by: "SOL 3" http://www.myspace.com/sol3canada album: "none" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Sun, 4 May 2008 msb-fr-0010 Jungleintro Désaveu! Désaveu! Désaveu! MSBPodcast n'est pas aucune sorte de podcast médical. Il est produit par et pour des SP'cimens. Son but est de nous garder divertis, d'expliquer nos symptômes, de remarquer à propos de nos découvertes et d'élever la conscience générale envers notre maladie. Le sentier à la maladie est ombragé, glauque et parsemé de rugueur. Le sentier à la pleine forme est allumé par la lampe des connaissances. ---- À Moi oûvre le programme... Je n'ai rien a dire. Chanceux pour vous. :-) ---- "Jungle Tip Toe" par: "Larry Seyer" http://www.larryseyer.com/ À Vous suit... Ceci est votre segment. Dite ce que vous voulez sur ce segment. Faites part avec d'autre SPcimens n'importe quoi que vous voulez parteger. Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Jungle Disease" par: "The Joneses" http://www.fullbreach77.com/kicks/s_joneses.html À L'aide est en troisième... Avez-vous une thérapie, un produit, un bien ou un service qui est d'intérêt aux SP'cimen? Considérez la publicité sur ce podcast. Les mémentos sur ce segment coûtent seulement $0.03 par mémento par téléchargement d'une épisode. (Un $30CPM visé à SP'cimen.) Il peut / devrait causer une annonce complète, en texte, audio ou vidéo, qui coûte $3.00 par téléchargement. Cela semble cher jusqu'à ce que vous fassiez le calcul et vous vous rendiez compte que si personne ne le télécharge il ne vous coûte rien, à la différence de la presse, où vous ne pouvez pas souvent même placer une annonce dans aux journaux spécialisés, ou la radio ou la TV où vous gaspilleriez votre argent avec un taux de retour de 0.0833% de SP'cimen. (C'est environ six fois "au-dessous" du niveau "de bruit statistique".) Mais MSBPodcast est 100 % dans votre marché et vous payez seulement par téléchargement de votre matériel. L'enjeu en vaut la chandelle. Atteignez les SP'cimens qui achèterait votre thérapie, produit, bien ou service, sans gaspiller votre argent de publicité sur quelqu'un qui n'est "pas" intéressé... Envoyez moi un courriel: "charles à MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Jungle Juice" par: "All Crazy" http://www.myspace.com/allcrazyphilly "Thèse:" La loi de la jungle? La sclérose en plaque vous met a la merci de beaucoup de personnes et vous met en dettes a beaucoup de personnes. Des fois les dettes sont celle personelles et des fois elles sont financières. Ces dernières peuvent vous donnez la sensation d'ètre dans une jungle. ---- "Like a jungle Sometimes" par: "Maido Project" http://www.myspace.com/maidoproject "Synthèse:" Une des choses les plus facheuse a avoir la sclérose en plaque, (apart du fait que notre corp est devenu un traitre et ne fonctionne plus comme il devrais,) c'est que notre capacité de gagner notre pain quotidien (notre circomstance financière,) prend un sacré coup. Cette maladie n'est pas si grave que ça, surtout quand on prend en consideration les traitement qui se sont dévellopés durant les dix dernières annés. Oui, je dois admettre que c'est très facheux de se piquer (et avec le temps, on ne s'habitue pas mais on developpe des méthodes de s'anesthiser. (Merci a tous les viniculteurs. Un petit verre de rouge oû de blanc, c'a ne fais pas mal avant and c'a fais moin mal après.) Apart de ca, les perceptions des gens est a cote la plus a pic a remonter. La sclérose en plaque n'affecte pas votre sens d'humour (je grogne encore,) ni vos ambitions. ---- "JUNGLE FIRE" par: "girls stuff" http://www.9t9.ch/ "Conclusion:" Dehors, cest la jungle. Mais pour les SPcimens c' n'est pas necessairement plein de bètes féroces. ---- "Wild Pussy In The Jungle O Luv" par: "The Fury...Heat!" http://www.thefuryheat.com/ Outro Désolé mais la loi DADVSI (« droit d'auteur et droits voisins dans la société de l'information ») me défend de vous faire parvenir de la musique Francaise.

Send me an email at: "charles (at) MSBPodcast.com" ---- "Half Dead" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com "Thesis:" Like film photography before it, printed newspapers are dying. "This" [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/business/media/28link.html?ref=business ] article in the New York Times points out what and why. But this is not something to lament. ---- "Cross Your Heart" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com "Synthesis:" Like everything else, the cost of producing a newspaper is always going up. So the Madison, Wisconsin "Capital Times" is going online. The metrics for the entire podcasting industry don't equal that of broadcasting. They never will. Let me repeat that: "They Never Will". But the rise of blogs, Digg and Slashdot style comment boards, participatory journalism, podcasts, videocasts, livecasts, Google, Youtube, and wikis have utterly wrecked the old economic model for the production and consumption of information. (Creation is something else though. Those costs have actually risen but the efficiency available because of digitization and computer mediated work flow make it seem like they've gone down.) Once the spread of information grew greater than what we could get from any broadcast media, the writing was on the wall. Once the quality of information was more accurate and had better maintainability than what we could get from any broadcast media, the writing was on the wall. Once the value added by broadcast media was less than the cost of obtaining it over the internet, the writing was on the wall. From the point of view of comparative economics, once it is cheaper to use something other than paper or it is cheaper to use something other than a transmitter, (quite apart from the asynchronous client-server nature of the internet which allows us to time-shift and break the tyranny of the clock,) its just a question of time before broadcast prices itself right out of existence, • as surely as near-death of the film camera, • as surely as the near-death of of the classified ad, • as surely as the near-death of the travel agency, • as surely as the near death of the typewriter, ° white-out, ° the word-processor, ° the turntable. (Send me your own examples and we can have some fun with this.) I am not predicting their death. These media will "not" die. But, like the automobile made a rarity of buggy whip makers. in the same ways and for the same reasons, producing physical examples of information is too slow, too expensive (but I'm repeating myself, time "is" money after all,) to survive in anything but a niche. (Think about that.) The internet will do the same for analog transmission of information and digital broadcasting will suffer a slower but inevitable reduction. Even if broadcasters don't die, they will be off of the transmitters they are currently using by the end of the decade (a sure bet since they're supposed to go digital by February 2009,) and I expect them to wean them selves off of those and not replace them when they start failing. The internet however is a vastly different world. There is no scarce resource to control. That means its impossible to demand the margins that the broadcasters are used to or even need to stay in business. ---- I'm in a particular niche, one that is utterly unserved. The amount of broadcasting about MS is just about nil. Given the statistics kept on disease on this planet, since MS strikes approximately 1 in 1,200, the amount of broadcasting about MS should be about one minute per day. But its not, is it? But that's broadcasting for you. Nobody ever said it was representative. ("The news" is really "the events." There's never any time for exposition of the factors that led up to "the events". Some people make an effort but even the best of them fail at being truly objective. [It doesn't matter what the politics of the thrower are, a projective thrown at a window hard enough will break it. That's an objective fact. You can even describe the throw, the release, the parabolic trajectory, the impact and the break modulus of the window using objective metrics, but the rest is all conjecture.]) Broadcasting is all about pretty, happy people, going about their pretty happy lives. No one is ever sick for longer than an episode of "House M.D." That's not reality, and not even reality TV wants do have to deal with reality. The 15% of the world that the W.H.O. ("World Health Organization") estimates is living with some disability right now don't ever figure in the broadcast media. I don't begrudge them not wanting to deal with it. Hell, I don't want to have to deal with it but I'm stuck with it. So the internet gives us all a channel, for want of a better word, where I have put more information about how this one MSer is coping with his MS than had ever existed before in history, and that hundreds of people have downloaded from all over the planet (64,000+ downloads from over 120 countries.) Because of the long-tail of podcasting these figures are real-time when I recorded this and will have grown by the time you read or hear this. ---- "Leave" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com "Conclusion:" The economics of information production in the age of the internet have made obsolete the observation by A. J. Liebling of the New Yorker that "Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one". Anybody can own one. (I used a "Linotronic" [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linotronic ] "300" [ http://www.scribd.com/doc/16432/Linotronic-300500-flyer ] imagesetter back in the mid to late 1980s back when I was producing the MS Newstletter for the Ottawa Chapter of the MS Society. [Before commercial typesetting fell to the same comparative cost/price curve.]) But owning one is fundamentally self-defeating. It is too limited in scope and in the reach (both time and space) of the information in can produce. The internet gives us a means whereby we can engage in "conversations" with each other. Most of the time, our conversations are not worth the air we breathed to utter them, but they are also at the heart of the very concept of "participatory democracy." The internet is merely the newest technology through which we are restoring "participatory democracy." That's good and that's bad, isn't it? ---- "Always Was" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com Outro ---- Theme and 'incidental music' from: "msb_theme", by: "Guy David", http://www.guydavid.com/ no album, via personal contract Song list "Sweet July" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com album: "Natalie Gelman" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Rest of the Way" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com album: "Natalie Gelman" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Half Dead" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com album: "Natalie Gelman" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Cross Your Heart" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com album: "Natalie Gelman" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Leave" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com album: "Natalie Gelman" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm "Always Was" by: "Natalie Gelman" http://NatalieGelman.com album: "Natalie Gelman" via: http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/index.htm ---- Photo Credits: All images, synchronized with the songs, are of the artists and come via music.podshow.com except when they aren't. :-) ---- Books: "Parasite Rex : Inside the Bizarre World of Nature's Most Dangerous Creatures" by "Carl Zimmer" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "Survival of the Sickest" by "Dr. Sharon Moalem" ISBN: 978-0-06-088965-4" "The Microphone Wars" by "Knowlton Nash" ISBN: 0-7710-6712-7 "The Stuff of Thought" by" "Steven Pinker" ISBN: 978-0743200110 "The Body Has a Mind of Its Own" by: "Sandra Blakeslee and Matthew Blakeslee" ISBN: 978-1-4000-6469-4 "The Mind & The Brain" by "Jeffrey M.

Miller" http://podcast.penmachine.com/ "Synthesis:" Up in Smoke A report [ http://health.usnews.com/usnews/health/healthday/080213/marijuana-use-among-ms-patients-raises-risk-for-cognitive-mood-problems.htm ] came out today that said that MSers who use pot to ease symptoms have a slowing down in their ability to process and remember information and a rise in mood disorders like anxiety and depression. Not really a big surprise. Our cognitive skills diminish as we ingest a mind altering drug. The study only involved 10 patients so it's not really big enough to make sweeping conclusions about the use of pot. The folks who used pot were using illegally obtained pot, so there's no verifying what else, if anything, was in those funny little cigarettes that may or may not have contributed to the findings. And the folks who used pot were not evaluated before they started using the drug so who's to say they hadn't already had diminished skills and revved up anxiety to begin with. But let's think about the uses of pot for MSers. To ease neuropathic pain. Pain is such a subjective thing; it's difficult to quantify how much is acceptable to any individual. But if it's keeping you awake at night or keeping you from leading a relatively normal life (with its usual aches and pains) then it's unacceptable. To ease muscle spasms. Spasms can be painful. They, too, can keep you awake at night and prevent you from leading a relatively normal life. (And speaking from experience, they can cause you to hit the wrong button on the computer at work.) To ease anxiety. Let's face it, life can make us anxious. We all have different coping mechanisms for anxiety. Some of us kick the dog, some of us drink to excess, some of us wash our hands 1000 times a day. Not great coping mechanisms. Now add a degenerative disease to the mix of life's usual anxieties. Would a joint once a week, say on a Friday night at home, be an any worse method of coping? Personally, I think not. Do I do it? Nope, but I have a healthy fear of a criminal record and luckily I haven't had pain or spasms bad enough to make me seek it out (almost, but not quite). So we have a population of people with pain, spasms, and anxiety, and a disease that is destroying their brain, seeking out relief. All these stressors contribute to diminished cognitive skills and reduced mental health. The bigger issue I think is, Is the use of pot by MSers detrimental to their life. Before we determine that pot is bad for MSers, remember that MS is bad for MSers. ---- "Smoke filling in car" by: "Momo-J" http://www.fareastpeach.com/ "Conclusion:" While I never picked up the habit, there is a lot to be said for, uh, inhalation therapies. (Some of it might even sound coherent! :-) Its not a moral judgment on my part. My clients used to be banks and other major financial institutions, so I never indulged. (I was "straight and sober" while the people handling mortage-backed securities must have been smokin' "something" [ http://hightimes.com/ ] clearly mind altering to have got us all in the sub-prime mess, [just a clearly, it was "not" reality altering. {"Bye Bye Bear Sterns..." Meanwhile, for the IT staff, its "either urine or you're out".}]) As for my younger days... I played Classical Guitar. That didn't do much for my "stoner status".

Mon, 28 April 2008 msb-0293 PodCamp NYC 2.0intro Disclaimer! Disclaimer! Disclaimer! MSBPodcast is "not" any kind of a medical podcast. It is by and for MSers. Its purpose is to keep us entertained, to explain our symptoms, to remark on our discoveries, and to raise the general consciousness about our disease. The path to illness is shadowy, murky and rough strewn. The path to wellness is lit by the lamp of knowledge. ---- Feedback comes first, so... PodCampNYC is over and I have felt the pulse of an industry which is maturing at an extremely rapid pace. But some of the participants are complete and utter, uh, how can I describe the rapid fire patter which assaulted me at the session on LiveStreaming. Some of it is actually an excellent offshoot of traditional media production techniques. It is interesting and has an interesting approach, an interesting point of view. But some of it is complete and utter bull spewed slurred-ly by some people who don't have MS for an excuse for their diction, (they're stewed, pure and simple,) and on whom any of the equipment seems a waste. I could feed an entire third world country for a week on the drek that was wasting bits and the time to flip them. (Sorry but this was porn of the mind and these people didn't have the energy to power a single lackadaisical and peremptory moan.) The presenter was wonderful, energetic, intelligent and really knew her stuff. Unfortunately, the stuff being LiveCast was not as good as she was. ---- Meanwhile, I was supposed to go my friend the chef's place for the next installment in her doctoral thesis. Unfortunately, I've had to beg off. (Luckily, I just had killer ribs at R.U.B on 23rd street in Manhattan.) ---- Unfortunately I'm not feeling 100% at the moment. (More like 60% with chilly flurries. [I don't walk or go out much these days {what with being unemployed and all (and it doesn't look like that's going to be improving soon [but that's a rant I'll save for another day,]} however I think that that aspect of my life will improve as I have finally seen that there's more "out there" than I can find working out of home;] yes, its more risk, but sometimes "you just gotta go fur it, dude, go fur it; hear what I'm sayin'") ---- The source for the music on this episode was suggested by Eli Smith of "Down Home Radio" [ http://www.downhomeradioshow.com/ ]. I love what he's does; going back into the dusty archives of recorded music to dig out the gems from the roots of music. ----- Oh and this just in: According to this [ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/28/business/media/28hannah.html?ref=business ] article in the New York Times, it looks like "Miley Cyrus", a.k.a. "Hannah Montana" now wants "To Be Taken "Seriously As An Artist" [ http://www.wormquartet.com/ ]. Now art imitates life imitating art imitating life, or something like that. ---- "ECLIPSE OF THE SUN_olb-02" by: "Sidney Maiden" http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/ListenTo1940sBlues.php Feed Forward comes next, so...

Walker" http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/ListenTo1940sBlues.php "Thesis:" What podcasting needs is what broad casting thinks it has: "Metrics!" My presentation was about metrics. Most of the session I attended were about metrics. Most of the people I spoke with were deeply concerned about metrics. Most of the problems people were having had to do with obtaining reliable metrics. It was that kind of week-end. :-) ---- "T-99_wcb-17" by: "Jimmy Nelson" http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/ListenTo1940sBlues.php "Synthesis:" I'm about to say something that will either be considered extremely invasive by podcasters (everybody like to put their circulation stats in the best light,) or will be recognized as an absolute necessity. Podcast metrics, from server IP address to client IP address, is absolutely essential for podcasting to get real measurable metrics. Podcasting essentially deals with market niches. Potentially millions of niches. There are a few problems though. First: Podcasting's "long tail" doesn't fit into the current time line of "campaign" running. What podcasting offers is radically different consumption of CPM ads. Instead of an ad campaign running and being able to close down instantaneously a podcast ad may be offering payback for years, (for as long as the show containing the ad is on a server.) This means that the concept of a cut off and an acceptance of the tail being deliberately cut (for obvious reasons, the song "Three Blind Mice" is running through my head,) and we'll have to accept the inaccuracy as inherent. Next: The concept of delivered ads where the content is an ad, delivered on demand to the end-user, and paying for every single delivery, is entirely new to the ad industry (No one, neither the broadcaster, nor the agencies, nor their traditional clients have "ever" been able to charge for and/or pay for "piece work". Podcasters "can!" We can deliver exactly the content that an advertiser wants (or is legally entitled to say in the ad's content,) to a specific IP address that requests it. The efficiency is complete. ---- I am also going to be less, uh, "risk averse" (which banks loved so I wrote software that banks loved, [until the Smalltalk vendors shot themselves in the foot, {with a Howitzer,}]) and get my butt out there. (What the Hell? Manhattan is only a PATH train ride away.) There's a billion things to do, "out there", and a 6.7 billion people to meet, "out there." Ain't nobody in here but us chickens. (I know I'm going again next year.) ---- "TRAIN, TRAIN BLUES_olb-08" by: "Johnny Fuller" http://www.juneberry78s.com/sounds/ListenTo1940sBlues.php "Conclusion:" I see only one possible outcome from this situation. Podcasting "will" develop the same kinds of attitude towards reporting accurate statistics that broadcasting has... Advertisers and advertising agencies will come to love the long tail as being totally efficient. I "will" get my ass out there. ---- "WHY DON'T YOU WRITE TO ME _olb-06" by: "L.C.
